Look at the Periodic Table, and the atomic number says how many protons and electrons there are (in an element, the # of protons and electrons are the same).

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons (since atoms are neutral)

Atomic Mass = number of protons + number of neutrons

What is an electron's atomic mass number?

The electron has no atomic mass number. The mass of an electron is roughly 1/1800 of the mass of a proton or neutron.


How do you calculate the number of proton neutron and electron using atomic no and mass no?

atomic # = protons atomic mass - atomic number = neutrons atomic # - charge = electrons


How do you calculated electrons?

electron equals the atomic number


Which particle has no charge Electron Positron Neutron Proton?

Atoms have equal numbers of protons and electrons.


How do you calculate nutrons?

neutron can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number of the particular atom from its mass number.


How do you determine the number of neutron?

Protons = Atomic Number Electrons = Atomic Number Neutrons = Atomic Mass - Atomic Number *A note on Atomic Mass* Atomic Mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Every time you remove or add a Proton/Electron or a Neutron, you change the mass by one. *A note on Protons and Electrons* The number of Protons and Electrons in an atom is always the same. Whenever you talk about adding/removing a proton or an electron, you are by default adding/removing one of the other as well.


What is the atomic number of an atom that has 6 protons 6 neutron and 6 electron?

6 which is Carbon


What is the formula for the atomic number?

atomic number = number of proton in an element number of proton = number of electron mass number = number of proton + number of neutron therefore... atomic number = mass number - number of neutrons


How is the number of neutrons in an atom worked out?

they work because in every atom there is a neutron, electron and proton. the electron will tell you what the atomic number is and the neutrons and protons will tell you what element it is.


What happen to atomic number and mass number of nucleus when it emits alpha particle electron and proton?

It's been awhile for me, but this is how I remember it. It is not convenient for me to look it up right at the moment, so you may want to verify this. Emitting an alpha particle (2 proton 2 neutron), atomic number would decrease by 2 and atomic mass decreases by 4.Electron emission means a neutron turns into a proton and electron, but the electron shoots out. The atomic number increases by 1 and atomic mass stays the same. Proton emission, well it loses a proton. So the atomic number decreases and mass decreases.


Which are the two important particles in an isotope?

The atomic particles of an isotope are the proton, electron and neutron


How do you calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom?

You calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom by : atomic mass - atomic number = neutron number. :) hope this helps
