उत्तर
The nucleus at the centre of atom, whose size is of the order of 10-15 m to 10-14 m.
The size of a nucleus is 10-5 to 10-4 times the size of an atom. It consists of protons and neutrons.
If Z is the atomic number and A is the mass number of an atom, then the atom contains Z number of electrons; Z number of protons and A - Z number of neutrons.
The atom is specified by the symbol \[\ce{^A_Z X}\] where X is the chemical symbol for the element.
