You can "figure out" by checking the Periodic Table :D
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).
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.
Take the Atomic Mass and round it to the nearest whole number. Then subtract this number and the atomic number of that element.
To determine the number of each subatomic particle in an atom, you need to know the atom's atomic number and mass number. The atomic number tells you the number of protons, while the mass number gives you the total number of protons and neutrons combined. Subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find the number of neutrons. Electrons will equal the number of protons in a neutral 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 :)
Mass number!:)
The mass number is used to calculate the number of nucleons in an atom. It represents the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. By knowing the mass number, one can determine the approximate atomic mass of the atom.
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).
The number of neutrons in an atom can affect the atomic mass of an atom.
the mass number is number of protons in an atom, plus the number of neutrons.
The mass number tells us the number (the sum) of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
The mass number of an atom of argon is 40. This number represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the argon atom.
