Caption for Iodine 131 image[edit]

Old caption stated: "Iodine-131 atom,includes 53 proton 78 electron 78 neutrons"

This is incorrect, as the atom would not be electrically neutral any more (would be a very negatively charged ion).

Furthermore, the image itself shows 53 electrons, not 78.

Grammar changes: Also, Proton and neutron should be plural. Also added a space in sentence after comma. Also added commas in list.

Changed to: "Iodine-131 atom, includes 53 protons, 53 electrons, and 78 neutrons"
