What's in a square?

It's symbol, the atomic number (number of protons in the nucleus, and the number of the electrons in the electron cloud), it's name, it's mass number(sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in a specific isotope), and it's atomic mass (the weighted average of the masses of all the element's isotopes. Rounding the atomic mass to the nearest whole number yields the mass number of the most common isotope.)

How do you determine the number of electrons in each atom?

Most often equal to the number of prints except in an ion where there are extra electrons

How do you determine the number of neutrons in each atom?

Subtract the Atomic Mass \# minus the Atomic #
