the number of protons in a single atom depends on the element. for example, hydrogen would have 1, helium would have 2, beryllium would have 3, and so on. the number of protons in a single atom depends on the element. for example, hydrogen would have 1, helium would have 2, beryllium would have 3, and so on.
Atomic mass is the number of protons in an atom mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons in an atom the number of neutrons would equal the mass number minus the atomic number.
We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
It is impossible to determine the number of neutrons from the mass number and atomic mass, since the two are essentially same value. However, with the atomic number and the mass number, one can calculate the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number.
they determine the atomic mass of the atom
The number of neutrons in an atom can affect the atomic mass of an atom.
You would subtract the atomic number from the mass number.
No, the atomic mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. The atomic mass of an atom is the total mass in a motionless atom.
mass no - atomic no = number of neutrons in an atom.
atomic number is the total number of protons OR electrons in an atom. mass number is the total sum of number of protons and neutrons. atomic number subtracted from mass number gives the number of neutrons in an atom. Mass number - atomic number = number of neutrons.
Atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
Atomic mass is protons + neutrons, and the atomic number (4) gives you the number of protons. Thus, this atom would have 5 neutrons.
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.
the atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom of an element and the atomic number is the number of protons of an atom of an element.
Atomic mass is the mass of an atom in atomic mass units, and includes protons, neutrons, and electrons; and atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.
Atomic mass is the mass of an atom in atomic mass units, and includes protons, neutrons, and electrons; and atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element, while the atomic mass is the mass of protons and neutrons of a specific isotope of a given element.
