Can the mass number of an element be used to determine the number of electrons in an atom?
No. The mass number can be used, however, to determine the number of neutrons. Electrons can only be determined by knowing the atom's charge.
Atomic mass is determined by the number of protons plus the number of?
Atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
What is the mass number of 10 protons and 10 neutrons?
20. the mass of an atom is determined by the sum of the number of neutrons and protons the atom has.
Is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in a atom?
Atomic mass.
What determines the isotopes of an atom?
Different isotopes of an atom are determined by the number of neutrons it contains.
Why is not possible to determine the type of atom by simply knowing how many neutrons it has?
because the neutrons have no charge
How is the atomic mass determined?
Atomic Mass is the number of protons in an atom plus the number of neutrons in the same atom.
The atomic mass of an atom is determined by the combined masses of its what?
The total number of protons plus the total number of neutrons
How can an atoms mass number be determined?
it is the sum of the protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom.
Can you identify an atom without knowing number of neutrons in it?
Yes, and in order to find the Number of Neutrons, subtract Atomic Mass from Number Of Protons, the result will be the Number of Neutrons for that atom *No. Of Neutron=Atomic Mass - Number Of Protons
How do you find the number of neutrons in an atom if that number is not told to you?
if you arent given the atomic numbert for an element - where could you find it?
What is the partice that determines the mass of an atom?
The atomic mass is mainly determined by the total number of protons AND neutrons.
