Can the mass number be used to determine the number of electrons in an atom?
No, the mass number (number of protons and neutrons) cannot be used to determine the number of electrons in an atom. The number of electrons in an atom is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus, which is the atomic number. Electrons are equal in number to protons in a neutral atom.
What particles make up the mass of an atom?
The number of protons
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.
When is an atom neutral When mass number equals number of protons equals number of electrons or when atomic number equals number of protons equals number of electrons?
An atom is neutral when the number of protons in the nucleus equals the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus. This means that the atom has no overall charge, as the positive charge of the protons is balanced by the negative charge of the electrons. The mass number, which is the sum of protons and neutrons, does not necessarily impact the neutrality of the atom.
What identify the number of protons neutrons and electrons in the atom.?
The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which identifies the element. Neutrons are found by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. For a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
What is bigger an atom number or a mass number?
Atomic number = number of protons or electrons (in a neutral atom) Mass number: sum of protons and neutrons The mass number is bigger.
What is the mass of an atom that has 10 protons 13 neutrons 10 electrons?
The mass number of this atom is 23, the sum of the number of protons and neutrons.
Can you use the mass number of an element to determine the number of electrons in an atom?
No, the mass number of an element is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. To determine the number of electrons, you would need to know the atomic number of the element, which is equal to the number of protons. Electrons in a neutral atom equal the number of protons.
What particle determines the mass of a atom?
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 many electrons are in the mass number of 111 and protons of 50?
There are 50 electrons. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.
How do you find out the mass of an atom?
By the addition of the number of protons and the number of electrons
How you calculate the atomic mass?
the Atomic Mass number is the number of protons/electrons in an atom
