mass number= no. of protons + no. of neutron
If you mean "how does one determine an atoms atomic mass?", then the answer would be to find a periodic table of elements where the whole numbers indicate atomic number and the other indicating atomic mass. Atomic number is generally described as the number of protons in a naturally occurring atom of a given element, and the atomic mass is the number of protons + number of neutrons in an atom.
Two particles are considered. they are protons and nrutrons
A chemical analysis and a molar mass determination are needed.
neutrons + protons = mass number
Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atoms of a particular isotope. The atomic number is the number of protons, so you would also need to know the number of neutrons. You could not determine the mass number from the atomic number alone.
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.

The numbers of protons and of electrons in an atom are both the same as the atomic number, and the difference between the mass number and the atomic number is the number of neutrons in the atom.
By the number of protons it has.
NEUTRONS AND PROTONS are counted in an atom to determine it's mass number.
To determine the number of atoms in a given mass of an element, you need to know the molar mass of that element. The molar mass of rhenium (Re) is 186.207 g/mol. To find the number of atoms in 70.620 g of rhenium, divide the given mass by the molar mass, and then multiply by Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23). This gives approximately 1.590 x 10^23 atoms of rhenium.
The atomic radius depends on the the number of electron shells, total negative charge, positive charge of the nucleus, atomic mass.
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.
