Best Answer

That is the Atomic Mass number, which generally is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. The atomic mass number varies between the different isotopes of an element. All isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, or atomic number, but have different numbers of neutrons. For example, carbon-12 atoms have 6 protons and 6 neutrons, while carbon-14 atoms have 6 protons and 8 neutrons.

What are in atoms?

Atoms are made of a nucleus, which contains subatomic particles called neutrons and protons, and electrons, which orbit the nucleus in certain areas.

What are the three subatomic particles of a molecule?

A molecule contains atoms e.g. water (H2O) The atoms, ( hydrogen and oxygen, and all other atoms) contain protons, neutrons in the nucleus of the atoms and electrons in energy shells around the nucleus. Protons, neutrons and electrons are sub-atomic particles.


Protrons and neutrons are these?

Protons and neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of atoms (with the exception of hydrogen atoms, which have no neutrons).


Where the subatomic particles are located within atoms?

Proton and neutron.


Is a proton a subatomic particle?

Yes, a proton is considered a subatomic particle. The proton, the neutron and the electron are smaller than atoms (making them subatomic particles). Further, these three particles are considered the building blocks of atoms. There are other subatomic particles, and to learn more, begin by examining the proton, neutron and the electron and finding out what it is that makes them up.Yes, protons are subatomic particles which are found in the nucleus of the atom and have a positive charge.


What two subatomic particles are located at the nucleus of an atom?

Protons which possess a positive charge and neutrons which possess no electric charge are subatomic particles within the nuclei of atoms.


Are subatomic particles found inside atoms?

Yes, atoms contain subatomic particles.


What are molecules and their subatomic particles?

Molecules contain atoms and these atoms contain subatomic particles.


What are the particles in an atoms?

There are three commonly referred to subatomic particles in an atom. The two that are in the atom's nucleus are the proton and the neutron. The one that zips around outside of the nucleus is the electron.
