What is indicated by the atomic mass?
the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.
How many neutrons would an atom of fluorine have?
An atom of fluorine has 9 protons, as indicated by its atomic number. The most common isotope of fluorine, fluorine-19, has a mass number of 19. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the number of protons from the mass number: 19 - 9 = 10. Therefore, an atom of fluorine typically has 10 neutrons.
What do you get when you change the mass number of an 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 :)
What is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom?
Mass number!:)
Mass number used to calculate the number of?
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.
The number of protons an atom contains is indicated by its?
Atomic number.
Is atomic number the same as mass number?
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).
What is the number of neutrons in an atom affects the atomic what?
The number of neutrons in an atom can affect the atomic mass of an atom.
What is the mass number of a atom?
the mass number is number of protons in an atom, plus the number of neutrons.
What does the mass number of an atom tell you about the atom?
The mass number tells us the number (the sum) of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
What is the mass number of the atom of argon?
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.
Why atomic mass is different from the mass numbers?
atomic mass is the number of protons in an atom mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons in an atom
