notation for an isotope of an element where the subscript is the atomic number, the superscript it the mass number, and they are attached on the left of the symbol for the element.


Example: 11H (kind of like that, but with no space between the 1s, it's just 1 directly over 1, then H)

Unfortunately WikiAnswers doesn't accept subscript/superscript.
For the isotope thorium-232: 232Th
90
232 is a superscript (mass number) and 90 is a subscript (atomic number).

Standard atomic notation involves the Bohr-Rutherford diagram. This uses the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and also the mass number. You need to use the Periodic Table for the standard atomic notation.

For example:

1- Mass # ( protons + neutrons)

H -(hydrogen)

1- Atomic #( number of protons)

Nuclear notation is a method used to represent an atom's nucleus, typically showing the elemental symbol, atomic number, and mass number. It provides a compact way to convey important information about the composition of an atom.

Atomic notation, also known as nuclear notation or nuclear symbol, is way to represent an element by showing its mass number and atomic number. The elements symbol is accompanied by two small numbers to the left of it: one on the bottom on the top. The number on the bottom is the atomic number, or the number of protons (and number of electrons in a neutral atom). The top number is the mass number which is the number of neutrons and number protons added together. For example,

If you think to the notation of an isotope, see an example with deuterium:

21H - where 2 is the mass number of deuterium and 1 is the atomic number.
