Best Answer

Δ+ and Δ0 are different from the nucleons in the following respects:

Isospin - Delta baryons have an isospin of 3/2, while the nucleons have an isospin of 1/2

Jp - Δ+ and Δ0 have a the total angular momentum of 3/2 and a positive parity, the nucleons have the total angular momentum of 1/2 and positive parity

Charge - protons and Δ+ have a charge of +1, neutrons and Δ0 have no charge.

Lifetime - Δ+ and Δ0 are extremely short lived; their mean lifetime is just about 5.58 x 10-24 s

Apart from that, they differ in term of their quark content and rest mass.

Δ+ and Δ0 are slightly more massive with their rest mass of approx. 1,232 MeV/c2 compared to approx 939 MeV/c2 of the nucleons

Is the mass number the number of protons and neutrons?

No, The atomic mass is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons (the mass of the atom's nucleus). Note that the atomic mass is therefore different in cases where there are different isotopes of the element (because the nucleus will have a different number of neutrons for each isotope). The atomic number is the number of protons (or electrons in the atom's neutral state).

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
