How do yo find an atoms mass number?
Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of atom.
How do you find the number of neutrons in an elements atoms?
number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
How do you you work out the number of neutrons in an atom?
Atomic Mass minus atomic number
How do you find the number of particles in a compound when given the mass?
The mass is the number of particles. Especially with atoms on the periodic table. The atomic mass is the number of proton and neutrons in the nucleus.
What is an atoms mass number?
neutrons + protons = mass number
How do you find neutrons in an element?
In order to find the number of neutrons in the atoms of an element, you must specify the isotope that you are interested in. Isotopes are specified according to their mass number. For example carbon-12 is the isotope of carbon that has a mass number of 12, and carbon-14 is the isotope of carbon that has a mass number of 14. All atoms of the same element, regardless of mass number, have the same number of protons, which is the element's atomic number. To determine the number of neutrons in an isotope, you subtract the atomic number from the mass number. For example, the atomic number of carbon is 6, which means that all carbon atoms contain 6 protons in their nuclei. So, to find the number of neutrons in a carbon-12 atom, subtract 6 from 12, and you get 6 neutrons in the atoms of carbon-12. To find the number of neutrons in a carbon-14 atom, subtract 6 from 14, and you get 8 neutrons in the atoms of carbon-14.
How do you find the mass number of an atoms?
Can't you check the periodic table dumbo anyways just add up the protons and electrons to get mass number.
What Make up 50 percent of the atomic mass of the nucleus?
Well, this is not exact, but smaller atoms have about the same number (and mass) of neutrons and of protons. Heavier atoms have a larger percentage of their mass in neutrons.Well, this is not exact, but smaller atoms have about the same number (and mass) of neutrons and of protons.

What is the number of oxygen atoms in 90 g of potassium permanganate?
In order to find the actual number of Oxygen atoms in that substance, you must first find the molar mass of that substance by adding the atomic masses of all the atoms which make up that compound. Then, divide the mass of the substance you have by that molar mass. After that, multiply that amount by how many Oxygen atoms are in a molecule of the substance to find how many moles of oxygen you have. Then finally, multiply the number of moles of Oxygen by Avogadro's number (6.022*10^23).
The actual mass of an atom of argon is is 6.63x10-24g How many atoms are in a 40.0-g sample of argon?
Divide 40g by the mass of one atom to find the number of argon atoms.
What is the term for atoms of the same element that differ in their mass numbers?
We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
How do you atoms to grams?
You find the number of atoms from the number of grams of a given substance by:Find the Moles of the Substance by multiplying the grams of the substance by the molar mass of the substance. ( Molar mass equals mass of substance per 1 mole of substance.)Grams x Molar Mass of Substance = Moles of SubstanceTake the moles of the substance and multiply it by Avogadro's Number (the number of atoms in 1 mole of substance, or simply 6.022x1023).Moles of Substance x Avogadro's Number (6.022x1023) = atoms of Substance
