+# Parts and things related to atoms
+Four main components
+1. **Electron**
+	1. Basically massless. 
+	2. Don't have a huge effect on the nuclear physics.
+2. **Proton**
+	1. Do have mass! 
+	2. Determine what the element is.
+3. **Neutron**
+	1. Are the fuel. Hit things fast
+	2. Don't change element by number.
+	3. 
+4. **Photon**
+	1. Don't really interact with matter
+	2. Can actually be a safety concern. Can harm people.
+5. Bonus! **Neutrino**
+	1. Basically no mass.
+	2. Balance out the energy equations.
+	3. Light :)
+
+The nucleus is really, really small.
+For $^4 He$ , $V_\text{nucleus} / V_\text{atom} = 2.6\times 10^-12$ 
+
+# Atom Identification
+## $^A_Z X$ 
+* A is the atomic mass
+* Z is the atomic number
+* X is the element symbol
+Some examples:
+$^{235}_{92} U$ $^4_2 He$ $^1_1 H$ 
+
+**Nuclide** - A type of atom characterized by the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of every atom of this type
+**Isotopes** - Atoms with the same number of protons but containing different numbers of neutrons.
+**Isotopic Abundance** - The percentage of an element that is a certain isotope. Sometimes abbreviated (a/o)
