Aster - star (chief star or shoting star) Elements: a chemical element consists of identical atoms. Atomic mass #: number of protons + neutrons. Isotopes: same element with same number of protons, but different number of neutrons carbon12 = 6 protons + 6 neutrons vs carbon14 = 6 protons + 8 neutrons.
