"Used" is the wrong term to be used in this case. An atom is MADE up of protons,neutrons and electrons.
Also, the number of protons or neutrons present in an atom depends on which atom is it or of which element it is.

What particles are used to determined the mass of an atom?
Mass of an atom = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
What number is used to determine how many electrons are in a neutral atom?
The atomic number (the number of protons in the atom). Neutral charge = 0 = (number of protons - number of neutrons). Therefore, number of protons = number of neutrons
What ratio can be used to predict the stability of an atom?
This is the protons/neutrons ratio in the atomic nucleus.
Which of the following particles is used to determine the mass of an atom?
Mass of an atom is determined by the no. of protons+ no. of neutrons in the atom.
What particule is used to determine the mass of an atom?
Protons, neutrons and electrons
Mass number used to calculate the number of?
the mass number of an atom is used to calculate the number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom
Is there more than one atom used in element?
No, an element is 1 atom with a certain number of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
What are two ways that a proton and a neutron are similar?
Both protons and neutrons are of equal size and mass. However neutrons have no charge and protons have a positive charge. Neutrons are also used in beta radiation and can be changed into protons.
What are the Three basic subatomic particles?
The three sub-atomic particles are:# Proton # Electron # NeutronAtoms are made up of Electrons, Neutrons, and Protons. These subatomic particles are known to be made up of even smaller particles. Particle accelerators are being used today to discover more of these particles.
How do you find the number of neutrons protons and electrons in an atom if the atom is neutral?
The number of electrons in an atom is always equal to the number of protons in that same atom. Since the atomic mass of a periodic element equals the weight of the atoms protons AND its neutrons, the following equation can be used to calculate the number of any given particle in an atom: number of neutrons = atomic mass - atomic number
If atomic mass of 16 and atomic number of 8 this means the number of neutrons in this type of oxygen is?
The atomic number refers to the number of protons in an element. The mass number can be used to indicate the number of neutrons because both protons and neutrons have a mass of about 1. An oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
What is a stable nuclei?
The stability of a nucleus in an atom how firmly the particles are held together. Protons in a nucleus would repel each other, but with the help of neutrons, most of the mass of an atom is strongly kept in place.
