Atomic Mass is the number of protons in an atom
mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons in an atom
the number of neutrons would equal the mass number minus the atomic number.

∙ 8y agoAtomic number -> Number of protons
Mass number -> Number of protons and neutrons
So. if you substract atomic number from the mass number you get the number of neutrons.

What would you do if you wanted to know the number of neutrons in an atom of a given element?
Neutrons, like protons are considered to have a mass of about 1. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.
What is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom?
Mass number!:)
The mass number of an element is equal to the total number of?
The mass number is the average atomic mass of all the isotopes that are found in nature.
How do you find the number of neutrons in an atom if that number is not told to you?
if you arent given the atomic numbert for an element - where could you find it?
The combined number of protons and neutrons?
Number protons + number neutrons is called the mass number or the atomic mass.
How do you find the number of neutrons when given a mass number?
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons
What Used to find the number of neutrons?
To find the number of neutrons in an atom you subtract the atomic mass fromthe mass number
How do you find the neutrons for an atom?
Neutrons = Mass number - Number of Protons
How do you find out the mass number?
Mass number = Number of protons + number of neutrons
To find the number of neutrons is an isotope start with the mass number and what?
The mass number of an isotope is the number of neutrons and protons in the isotope, let this be p +n = (mass number). To find the number of neutrons you need the atomic number (number of protons), let this be p. You then subtract the two: mass number - atomic number = no. of neutrons p + n - p = no. of neutrons = n
How do you calculate the number of neutrons an element has in its nucleus?
You need to find the atomic number, and the atomic mass. The atomic number i the number of PROTONS in the nucleus, the atomic mass, or mass number, is the number of PROTONS and NEUTRONS in the nucleus. To find the number of neutrons you subtract the atomic number from the mass number.
How do you find the number of neutrons in an elements atoms?
number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
How do you find out mass number of an element?
Mass number = Number of Protons + Number of Neutrons
What equation do you use to find the number of neutrons in an element?
Number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons
How do you find out how many neutrons a atom has?
Mass number = Atomic number (or number of protons) + Number of neutrons
How do you find the amount of neutrongs when you have its mass number?
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons
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
