What does mass do?
The Atomic Mass is equal to the number of protons plus neutrons. So if you know the atomic number then you can find out the number of neutrons Atomic # is the amount of Protons or Electrons Atomic Mass- Number of protons plus neutrons Atomic Mass-Atomic Number = Amount of neutrons
What is the difference the atomic number of 6 of an atom and it's mass number?
If the atomic number of an atom is 6 it means that the atom has 6 protons, the mass number on the other hand is the total amount of protons and neutrons in the atom. ( Remember- the amount of protons equals the amount of electrons). So for example if you wanted to find out the amount of neutrons in an atom, you would subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass for the answer. (Whole-protons=neutrons)
What is the difference between the atomic number an its atomic mass?
Atomic number is the amount of electrons. Atomic mass is the amount of protons and neutrons.
What is the total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom?
The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.
How do you find out the atomic mass of an element?
On the periodic table it is the number on the bottom of the element.If you know the amount of neutrons you can add it to the number of protons to find the atomic mass NUMBER, which is a good approximate of the atomic mass.Potassium (isotope 39), 19K(39), has 19 protons and 20 neutrons19 + 20 = 39 atomic mass NUMBER, its atomic mass is 39.10 a.m.u.
What is the different between mass number and atomic number?
Atomic number is the number of protons within the nucleus of the element. Mass number is the total mass of the element (made from number of electrons, protons, and neutrons). You can calculate the approximate mass of the element by multiplying the respective mass of each component by its corresponding amount. However, there will be a discrepancy by the calculated amount and the real amount because some of the mass is converted into energy when the element is formed.
How do you find out the mass number?
Mass number = Number of protons + number of neutrons
What is the atomic number for an element with 37 neutrons and a mass number of 72?
The mass number is the amount of protons and neutrons in an element. The atomic number is equal to the amount of protons. Therefore to get the number of protons from the given information, you would subtract 37 from 72 which gives you 35 protons aka its atomic number!
What does atomic mass do?
The atomic mass is equal to the number of protons plus neutrons. So if you know the atomic number then you can find out the number of neutrons Atomic # is the amount of Protons or Electrons Atomic Mass- Number of protons plus neutrons Atomic Mass-Atomic Number = Amount of neutrons
Is the atomic number and atomic mass the same?
No, the atomic number is the amount of protons it has and the weight is its mass
How many neutrons if number of protons is 18 mass is 37.8?
there is amount of proton = amount of electron and the mass = amount of proton + amount of neutron so we take the mass - amount of pronton we will get the amount of neutron =20.8
How do you find out mass number of an element?
Mass number = Number of Protons + Number of Neutrons
