The sum of protons and neutrons is the atomic mass.
No, protons, neutrons, and electrons are not elements. Protons and neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of atoms, while electrons orbit the nucleus. Elements are substances made up of one type of atom, characterized by the number of protons in their nucleus.
neutrons and protons
An atom's mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus.
Elelments are determined by the amount of protons they have. While different elements can have the same number of neutrons and protons, no two different elements can have the same amount of protons.
By discovering the elements proton number, it became easier for scientists because the elements had similar properties. And they could arrange it by increasing proton number, valence electrons or electronic configuration.
The periodic table used to be arranged by increasing atomic mass. Now, it is arranged by increasing atomic number (number of protons in an atom of element).
Lighter elements tend to have neutrons equal to protonms or only a slight excess. Heavier elements have an excess of neutrons over protons
Protons, neutrons and electrons
An atom is made from neutrons, protons and electrons; neutrons and protons contain quarks and gluons.

LOL! Nah they aren't.
