What number is the atomic mass equal to?
Atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
What does atomic mass do?
The atomic mass is equal to the number of protons plus neutrons. So if you know the atomic number then you can find out the number of neutrons Atomic # is the amount of Protons or Electrons Atomic Mass- Number of protons plus neutrons Atomic Mass-Atomic Number = Amount of neutrons
Is the number of protons equal to the atomic mass minus the atomic number?
No. For an isotope of an element, the number of neutrons, not protons, in the nucleus of an atom of the isotope is equal to the isotopic mass number minus the atomic number. The atomic number itself is the number of protons in the nucleus.
Why can you subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass and get the number of neutrons?
Not the atomic mass but the mass number (of course, these values are similar - not identical).The mass number is the sum between the number of protons and the number of neutrons. As a consequence:Number of neutrons for an isotope = Mass number - Number of protonsThe number of protons is equal to the atomic number.
Atomic weight is equal to the?
Atomic weight/ mass = number of protons + number of neutrons
What does mass do?
The Atomic Mass is equal to the number of protons plus neutrons. So if you know the atomic number then you can find out the number of neutrons Atomic # is the amount of Protons or Electrons Atomic Mass- Number of protons plus neutrons Atomic Mass-Atomic Number = Amount of neutrons
Is the atomic number of an atom equal to the number of protons or neutrons or electrons in the nucleus?
No, atomic number equals the number of protons.The number of neutrons is NOT specific to an element, and various atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons - these are called isotopes.
What number is the atomic mass equal to?
Atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
Is the atomic weight of an element is equal to the number of protons minus the number of neutrons?
Atomic weight of an element is the number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus, atomic number is the number of protons only.

Is the atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons or neutrons in the nucleus?
Protons
Is the number of protons equal to the atomic mass minus the atomic number?
No. For an isotope of an element, the number of neutrons, not protons, in the nucleus of an atom of the isotope is equal to the isotopic mass number minus the atomic number. The atomic number itself is the number of protons in the nucleus.
What is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons?
If you add the number of protons to the number of neutrons in an atom, you have calculated that atom's atomic mass.
What equals the number of neutrons plus the number of protons in an atom?
The mass number is a whole number that is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom. Mass number is represented by the letter (A) orA= Z + N (Z) represent the atomic number or the number of protons in the nucleus.
How many protons and neutrons does an atom have?
The atomic number of a chemical element is equal to the number of electrons or protons. The number of neutrons = Atomic weight of an isotope (rounded) - atomic number of the element (or the number of protons) R

The number of neutrons contained in oxygen-17 which has an atomic number of 8 is?
It has 10 neutrons since the atomic number is equal to the number of protons and the isotope number is the number of neutrons and protons together.
