BIOLOGY: CHEMISTRY OF LIFE

Element : 

Element An element is a substance that cannot be broken down to other substances by ordinary chemical means. 98% of living matter is made of Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Oxygen Phosphorus Sulfur

Atomic Number : 

Atomic Number Number of protons (equals number of electrons) Examples: Carbon = 6 Calcium = 20

Mass Number : 

Mass Number Equal to the sum of its protons and neutrons Example Sodium = atomic number 11 mass number 23 Isotopes—atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons; for example carbon-12 and carbon-14.
