The isotope sulfur-46 has 16 protons and electrons and 30 neutrons (the exact Atomic Mass is 46.000750).
The number of neutrons in an atom can affect the atomic mass of an atom.
28. Atomic mass - Atomic # (same as the number of protons) = number of neutrons
Protons and neutrons each have an atomic mass of 1 So, 38-15=23 Neutrons
There are 143 neutrons.
The atomic mass of an atom is the combined mass of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Atomic number is number of protons in an atom while atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom when you subtract you will get the number of neutrons in an atom.
Atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
Atomic Mass represents the mass of atom. We use mass of protons and neutrons.
Atomic mass is protons + neutrons, and the atomic number (4) gives you the number of protons. Thus, this atom would have 5 neutrons.
they determine the atomic mass of the atom
The number of neutrons depends on the atom. In general, mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons.
Atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
