uh, for one thing mass and atomic nUmbers. and the other: it has 20 protons and 33 neutrons. The atom would have 20 protons and 33 neutrons. The number of protons is always the same as the atomic number. To find the number of neutrons, you simply subtract the atomic number from the Atomic Mass. Atomic mass - Atomic number = number of neutrons (53 - 20 = 33) If you add the number of protons and the number of neutrons together, you should get the atomic mass.

In a magnesium atom where are the protons and neutrons?
In an atom protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus.
Where are protons and neutrons in a atom?
The protons and neutrons are to be found in the atomic nucleus.
What do you have when you subtract the atomic no from atomic mass?
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.
What does the atomic number of an atom made of?
An atomic nucleus contain protons and neutrons; protons and neutrons contain quarks and gluons.
Where are the protons and neutrons found in an atom?
Protons and neutrons are normally found in the atomic nucleus.
How do you calculate the atomic mas based on the number of protons and neutrons of an atom?
Atomic mass is simply the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons. If an atom has "A" protons and "B" neutrons, its atomic mass is A + B.
How are protons and neutrons related?
For a stable atom, no. of protons= no. of electrons no of neutrons= Atomic Mass- no. of protons
If the atomic mass of an atom is 48 and the atom contains 20 protons how many neutrons does the atom contain?
28. Atomic mass - Atomic # (same as the number of protons) = number of neutrons
What number is the atomic mass equal to?
Atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
The number of protons and neutrons in an atom?
Depends on the atom. The atomic number will give you the number of protons. The atomic weight will give you approximately the number of protons and neutrons combined.
What information does the atomic mass of an elemt provide?
the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Atomic mass is found by adding together the individual masses of the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. --> Atomic Mass = protons + neutrons
Are protons and neutrons from the nucleus of an atom?
Yes. Protons and neutrons are sub atomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom
