How mass and atomic numbers explain atomic structure (pt 2/2)

Two presenters use animations to show that the atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. They show that the mass number minus the atomic number is the number of neutrons. They complete the atomic structure by explaining that atoms have the same number of protons and electrons. A more detailed explanation of this is given in the first part of the clip.
