atomic mass and mass number are differernt because atomic mass mean mass of whole atom which mean mass of proton,neutron and electron while mass number is number of proton and neutron only.zahid ullah paf college risalpur

How are atomic mass and atom numbers related?

The mass number is the number of the Atomic Mass. The atomic mass is the mass of the atom of the element. There is no difference between the two, except mass number is referring to the number, while atomic mass is referring to the atom's mass in general, which is also expressed by a number. Basically, both terms mean the exact same thing.


What is beryllium mass number?

Beryllium Atomic number: 4 Atomic Mass: 9.012


What is the mass and atomic number for N?

By N, I assume you mean Nitrogen. Nitrogen's Atomic number is 7, and its atomic mass is ~14.011.


What does the term atomize mean?

The atomic radius is the same thing as the Atomic Mass.


What do atomic number and atomic mass mean?

The atomic number is equal to either the number of electrons or the protons of a particular atom. The atomic mass in a.m.u. is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom.


What does it mean if helium has mass?

atomic mass is the number of protons in that element molecule.


What does one determine an atoms atomic mass?

If you mean "how does one determine an atoms atomic mass?", then the answer would be to find a periodic table of elements where the whole numbers indicate atomic number and the other indicating atomic mass. Atomic number is generally described as the number of protons in a naturally occurring atom of a given element, and the atomic mass is the number of protons + number of neutrons in an atom.

It means that 2 is calciums' mass number and atomic number


What does the term mean atomic number mass number?

The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, determining the element's identity. The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus, giving the atom its mass.


How are mass number and atomic number related?

If there is only 1 isotope then they are equal. Many naturally found elements have various isotopes (different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus). Each isotope has a diffent mass, so the measured atomic weight is an average.


What do you mean by the atomic mass of an atom?

That's the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.


How would you calculate the number of neutrons of an isotope?

To calculate the number of neutrons in an isotope, subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass number (rounded mass of the isotope). Neutrons are neutral particles found in the nucleus of an atom, and their number can affect the stability and properties of the isotope.
