The reaction that would beat represent a typical reaction mechanism is when A and B react with each other to produce certain products.
Atoms are made of 3 types of subatomic particles ; protons, neutrons and electrons
protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus and electrons are found in energy shells around the nucleus. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral. elements in their ground state are neutral with equal amounts of protons and electrons.
Atomic number is the number of protons. atomic number is characteristic for the element.
