Based on your observations how are the top left and bottom left numbers of an atom symbol different?Explain Answer as fast as you can I need it right now please

The top left number of the symbol of an atom is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the atom known as atomic mass number, while the bottom left number of the symbol of an atom is the number of protons in the atom known as atomic number.

Explanation:

An atom of an element is composed of other subatomic particles; the electron, proton and neutron. The number of protons present in an atom of an element is equal to the number of electrons present in the atom of that element and is known as the atomic number of the element. The number of neutrons present in the atom summed together with the proton number gives the atomic mass number of an atom of the element.

Elements are represented with symbols. In writing the symbols of elements, the atomic number and the atomic mass of an atom of the element is usually written along with the symbol. The top left number of the symbol of an atom is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the atom, while the bottom left number of the symbol of an atom is the number of protons in the atom.

For example, the element sodium has an atomic number of 11 and a mass number of 23. In symbols, it is written as follows: ²³₁₁Na

atomic mass = 39

number of neutrons = 20

number of protons= 19

electronic configuration = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

the number of electron in first shell = 2

number of electrons in n=3 shell = 8
