The sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom
The sum of all Protons and Neutrons.
Protons & Neutrons
no its not, protons and neutrons make up the nucleus and electrons orbit it
nucleus
Protons and neutrons are responsible for the atomic mass of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. The combined mass of protons and neutrons makes up the majority of the mass of an atom.
protons and neutrons
Same no. of protons/neutrons.
quark
Nuclei contain protons (positively charged particles) and neutrons (no charge). numbers of neutrons and protons makes up mass of atom.
Neutrons are completely separate from protons, so neutrons do not have any protons, and protons do not have any neutrons.
The number of protons and neutrons controls the weight of an atom.
No, protons also make up the nucleus along with neutrons. Protons have a positive charge while neutrons have no charge. The number of protons determines the element, while the number of neutrons can vary within isotopes of the same element.
