First of all, the charge on most atoms is zero. A charged atom is called an ion, and is due to the atom gaining or losing electrons. I assume that you are referring to the charge and mass on the nucleus.
Every proton contributes charge and mass. Every neutron contributes only mass. Thus, there is a positive correlation between the two, but due to the fact that different atoms have diffirent isotopes, it is impossible to say, based on mass, what the charge is, or visa versa.
For example, most hydrogen nuclei are just single protons. Deuterium has a proton and neutron for a nucleus, and tritium has a proton and 2 neutrons. All of these nuclei have diffirent masses, but same charge.

Is atomic mass and atomic diameter the same thing?
No, the atomic mass is the average mass of the atom and the atomic diameter is the average diameter of the atom
What are protons found in an atom and what electrical charge and mass do they have?
Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom. They possess a positive (+) charge and their mass is 1.6726219 × 10-27 kilograms. This is usually assigned a value of 1 Atomic Mass unit (amu).
Where are protons found in an atom and what electrical charge and mass do they have?
Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom. They possess a positive (+) charge and their mass is 1.6726219 × 10-27 kilograms. This is usually assigned a value of 1 atomic mass unit (amu).
How many electrons belong to a neutral atom with an atomic mass of 36 amu?
A neutral atom with an atomic mass of 36 amu will have 36 electrons. This is because the atomic mass of an atom is determined by the sum of its protons and neutrons, and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
What does atomic mass represent of an element represent?
Atomic Mass represents the mass of atom. We use mass of protons and neutrons.
An atom has 14 neutrons and an atomic mass of 26 What will be the charge of the atom when it forms an ion?
+ or - 4
What is the nuclear charge of an atom with mass of 23 and an atomic number of 11?
The atomic number of 11 means there are 11 protons in the nucleus, giving the atom a nuclear charge of +11. The atom in question is a Sodium atom.
What is the nuclear charge of an atom with an atomic mass of 35amu and atomic number of 17?
The mass number of an isotope of an element is defined as the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of each atom of the isotope. The atomic number is defined as the number of protons only in the nucleus. Therefore, an atom with an atomic number. Since neutrons have no electric charge, the nuclear charge of the specified atom is 17 amu.
How many protons does an atom have if it has a mass of 18 an atomic number of 9 and a charge of -1?
Your question is not right, since an atom has no charge, and charge anyway does not effect the number of protons. Anyway, you already have the answer since the atomic number IS the number of protons. Or else if you do not have the atomic number, you can get it using mass - number of neutrons.
Subatomic particle that contributes mass and a positive electrical charge to an atom?
The sub atomic particles to an atom are the proton (p), neutron (n). The p and n both contribute to atomic mass. The positive charge comes from the p and outside the atom in orbit is/are the electron with negligible mass, but negative charge.
How do you determine the atom the atomic mass of an atom?
Proton + Nuetron = Atomic Mass
What is the atomic mass of an atom?
The atomic mass of an atom is the combined mass of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Is atomic mass and atomic diameter the same thing?
No, the atomic mass is the average mass of the atom and the atomic diameter is the average diameter of the atom
What is the number of neutrons in an atom affects the atomic what?
The number of neutrons in an atom can affect the atomic mass of an atom.
What are protons found in an atom and what electrical charge and mass do they have?
Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom. They possess a positive (+) charge and their mass is 1.6726219 × 10-27 kilograms. This is usually assigned a value of 1 Atomic Mass unit (amu).

How many electrons belong to a neutral atom with an atomic mass of 36 amu?
A neutral atom with an atomic mass of 36 amu will have 36 electrons. This is because the atomic mass of an atom is determined by the sum of its protons and neutrons, and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
