Why do you calculate the number of electrons by the atomic mass and number?

because an atomic number is the same as the number of electrons in an atom (not ion)


What is the mass number of the ion?

The mass number of an ion remains the same as the element. This is because an ion gains or loses electrons which have minimal mass.


What is the mass of an ion with 107 electrons?

electrons have negligible mass. the mass of the ion depends on how many protons and neutrons are present.

What is the difference in mass of Na ion and Na atom?

The difference in mass between a sodium atom and a sodium ion (supposing Na+) is 9.10938188 × 10-31kg (the mass of an electron). This is due to the sodium atom losing an electron to form an ion. In order to attain the mass of a single sodium atom you need to divide the molar massn (mass number) of sodium by avogadro's number. You can then find the mass of the ion by subtracting the mass of an electron from the mass of a sodium atom.
