Only be coincidence; the atomic number is defined as the number of protons in a nucleus of each atom of the element.

Are the number of neutrons equal to the atomic number minus the atomic mass?
false
What number is the atomic mass equal to?
Atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
Is it true that The atomic mass is equal to the atomic 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.
Nitrogen has an atomic mass of 14 and an atomic number of 7 so the number of neutrons must be?
The atomic mass of an atom is the total mass of its particles. The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus. To find the number of neutrons in an atom, we take its atomic mass (the total mass of its particles) and subtract its atomic number (the number of protons and electrons in the atom). A: Lithium has an atomic mass of 7 and an atomic number of 3 so the number of neutrons is equal to 4. (7 - 3 = 4)
Is the number of neutrons in an atom equal to the mass number minus atomic number?
Yes, it is true.
What best describes the number of neutrons in an atom?
It is equal to the difference between atomic number and Atomic Mass number. A+
Are the number of neutrons equal to the atomic number minus the atomic mass?
false
What is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons?
If you add the number of protons to the number of neutrons in an atom, you have calculated that atom's atomic mass.
What number is the atomic mass equal to?
Atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
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 equals the number of neutrons plus the number of protons in an atom?
The mass number is a whole number that is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom. Mass number is represented by the letter (A) orA= Z + N (Z) represent the atomic number or the number of protons in the nucleus.
Is the atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons or neutrons in the nucleus?
Protons
Is the mass number of an atom equal to the atomic number?
Only if the atom is hydrogen-1! The mass number of the atom is equal to the sum of the numbers of protons, which is the same as the atomic number, plus the number of neutrons. The only non-radioactive atom without neutrons is hydrogen-1.
What is the number of neutrons in an atom affects the atomic what?
The number of neutrons in an atom can affect the atomic mass of an atom.
Is the atomic number of an atom equal to the number of protons or neutrons or electrons in the nucleus?
No, atomic number equals the number of protons.The number of neutrons is NOT specific to an element, and various atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons - these are called isotopes.
What are the particles that make a atom including the atomic number and mass number?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom (which equal the number of electrons present) The atomic mass is the number of protons+neutrons in an atom
Is it true that The atomic mass is equal to the atomic 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.
