As I remember neutrons and protons weight something similar, electrons have a far smaller mass which is negligable in comparison to the weight of protons.
59 = # of protons and # of electons 59 protons make up 59 of the mass number (electons have an insignificant mass), so the rest of the mass must be from neutrons: 96 - 59 = 37 neutrons
Atomic number means number of protons present in an atom. Atomic number= number of protons. mass number = number of neutrons+ number of protons. So if you subtract the number of protons you get neutrons and if you subtract neutrons you get protons. mass number - protons= neutrons Mass number - neutrons = protons.
atomic mass is the number of protons in an atom mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons in an atom
Atoms correspond in that they are all made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. However, they differ in their mass numbers, which is the sum of protons and neutrons. Atoms of different elements have different mass numbers due to varying numbers of protons and neutrons.
isotopes just mean they have a different number of neutrons so if the..Mass number = # of protons + # of neutrons -they will have a different (greater) mass
Mass number is about the neutrons and protons. The total of neutrons and protons.
Isotopes must have the same atomic number, which is the number of protons. The atomic mass, which is the total number of protons and neutrons, varies for the different isotopes. so it should have different mass numbers..
Carbon-12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. The number of protons determines the element (carbon), the number of neutrons plus protons gives the mass number (12), and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.
There is no simple answer.The mass of a nucleus depends on the number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus. The number of protons in the nucleus depends on the element. Moreover, the number of neutrons can vary between isotopes of the same element.
