What does the atomic mass tell you about a atom?
The mass.If you also know the element number you can figure out the number of neutrons (provided its an isotopic mass rather than an average mass).
How do you tell figure out the atomic mass?
Atomic mass is the number of protons + the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. On the periodic table, the average atomic mass of an element will the be number at the bottom of each box.
How do you figure the number of neutron's in an atom?
Take the Atomic Mass and round it to the nearest whole number. Then subtract this number and the atomic number of that element.
What do you get when you change the mass number of an atom?
You can't change the mass number of an atom because the mass number is the number of protons which is the atom's atomic number I hope this helped :)
What is the mass number of a atom?
the mass number is number of protons in an atom, plus the number of neutrons.
What is the number of neutrons in an atom affects the atomic what?
The number of neutrons in an atom can affect the atomic mass of an atom.
Is atomic number the same as mass number?
Atomic number is the number of protons in the atom; atom mass is the total mass of the atom (usually neglecting the mass of the electrons because they have so little).
What does the mass number of an atom tell you about the atom?
The mass number tells us the number (the sum) of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
What do you get if you subtract the atomic number from the mass number for a particular atom?
mass no - atomic no = number of neutrons in an atom.
Why atomic mass is different from the mass numbers?
atomic mass is the number of protons in an atom mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons in an atom
What does the atomic mass number of an atom tell you about the atom?
The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of its number of protons and neutrons, simply, nucleons.
What does the atomic mass number an atom tell you about the atom?
The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of its number of protons and neutrons, simply, nucleons.
