Not necessarily. An estimated form of Atomic Mass is protons + neutrons.
The number of protons
mass number = protons + nuetrons
Mass number is about the neutrons and protons. The total of neutrons and protons.
The mass number = protons + neutrons
Mass number!:)
atomic mass is the number of protons in an atom mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons in an atom
The sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom is known as the atomic mass. It is equivalent to the mass number of the atom, which represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
atomic mass number - protons = number or neutrons
Atomic Mass: protons AND neutrons atomic number: just protons
Atomic number means number of protons present in an atom. Atomic number= number of protons. mass number = number of neutrons+ number of protons. So if you subtract the number of protons you get neutrons and if you subtract neutrons you get protons. mass number - protons= neutrons Mass number - neutrons = protons.
The atomic mass NUMBER equals the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. DO NOT confuse this with the mass of an atom.
mass no. = no. of protons + no. of neutrons
