How you can use the atoms mass number and atomic number to determine the number of protons electrons and neutrons in the atom?
The numbers of protons and of electrons in an atom are both the same as the atomic number, and the difference between the mass number and the atomic number is the number of neutrons in the atom.
When you subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass it will give you the number of what?
the protrons, neutrons and electrons in a atom
How you can determine the number of protons electrons and neutrons an atom has from an atom's mass number and its atomic number?
To determine the number of protons, look at the atomic number. The number of electrons is also the atomic number.To find the number of neutrons subtract the atomic number from the Atomic Mass number.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are present in and surrounding the nucleus of a coloring atom?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determine its atomic number, while the number of neutrons and electrons can vary based on the specific isotope. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass.
How many neutrons are in one atom?
The number of neutrons in one atom can vary depending on the element. Neutrons are one of the three main subatomic particles found in an atom, along with protons and electrons. The number of neutrons in an atom is calculated by subtracting the number of protons (atomic number) from the atomic mass of the atom.
Atomic mass equals the number of what?
The atomic mass NUMBER equals the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. DO NOT confuse this with the mass of an atom.
What is the atomic number of a neutral atom having 6 electrons and 5 neutrons?
Atomic number is 6. The isotope is 6C11 Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons (for a neutral atom)
What is the atomic number of an atom that has six protons neutrons and electrons?
atomic number = number of protons = 6
What atom has an atomic number of 23 12 neutrons and how many electrons?
Vanadium has an atomic no. of 23 and mass number of 51. But it has 28 neutrons and 23 electrons
If a neutral atom has a mass of 15 amu and an atomic number of 7 whats the number of protons neutrons and electrons in the atom?
The atomic number of 7 indicates the number of protons, which is 7. Since the atom is neutral, the number of protons also equals the number of electrons, so there are 7 electrons. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass number: 15 (mass number) - 7 (atomic number) = 8 neutrons.
Distinguish between atomic number and atomic mass?
The Atomic Number of an element is equal to the number of Protons/Electrons in the nucleus and the Atomic Weight is approximately the total number of Protons/Electrons and Neutrons combined. Using Carbon as an example: Total Protons/Electrons = 6, therefore the Atomic Number is 6 Total Neutrons = 6, and the Atomic Weight is 12 Question? The Atomic Number of Lithium = 3 The Atomic Weight of Lithium = 7 How many Protons/Electrons? How many Neutrons? Answer: Protons/Electrons = 3 Neutrons = 4
Which particles account for the difference between the atomic number and the mass number?
The answer is that it is neutrons that account for the difference between atomic weight and atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons or the number of electrons in the atom, since they are normally equal. The atomic weightis the sum of the total number of protons, electrons AND neutrons in the atom. Knowing both the atomic number and the atomic weight of an atom lets you know the number of neutrons in the atom (the isotope). Example: Uranium, Atomic Number 92, Atomic Weight 235. The atomic number tell you that the uranium atom has 92 protons and 92 electrons. The atomic weight tells you that it has a combined total of 235 protons, electrons and neutrons. Since you know from the atomic number that there is a total of 184 protons and electrons in the atom (92 + 92) and from the atomic weight that the total number of protons, electons and neutrons is 235 (92 + 92 + X = 235), you now know that there are 151 neutrons in that uranium atom. The atomic number and atomic weight together tell you that the uranium atom 235 has 92 protons, 92 electons and 151 neutrons.
