The Atomic Structure of an element is denoted by:


                                             A

                                                 X

                                             Z

A = Mass Number

       Total Number of Nucleons

       A = Z + N


X = Element and chemical symbol


Z = Atomic Number 

      Total number of nuclear protons in the nucleus

N= Number of nuclear neutrons
