The total number of neutrons in an atom is known as its atomic mass. The sum of all the atomic weights of isotopes of a particular element is known as an element's atomic weight. Atomic weights are decimal numbers for this reason.
The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.
mass number = protons + nuetrons
If you add the number of protons to the number of neutrons in an atom, you have calculated that atom's atomic mass.
The mass number is the sum of protons + neutrons.
Mass number!:)
The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom is given by the atomic mass number, which is the sum of the number of protons (atomic number) and the number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom.
20. the mass of an atom is determined by the sum of the number of neutrons and protons the atom has.
atomic mass number - protons = number or neutrons
The number of protons
mass number = protons + nuetrons
neutrons in an atom's nucleus. It is measured in atomic mass units (amu) and provides the total mass of an atom. The atomic mass is approximately equal to the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, as the mass of electrons is negligible.
The combined number of protons and neutrons is known as the mass number of an atom. It can be used to calculate the atomic mass by adding the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
