the idea behind rutherfords atomic theory is that the atom has a central positive nucleus and negatively charged electrons, which move in orbits, surround it. most of the atom is made up of empty space. he assumed this theory through a gold-foil experiment about which you can find information on the internet.
He discovered that an atom has a very dense and very tiny positively charged nucleus. He named the positively charged particles protons.
you add the number of protons (the atomic number) to the number of neutrons
To calculate the atomic mass of any element, add the no. of protons and neutrons. There sum will be the atomic mass. The mass of electrons is not counted towards the atomic mass.
take the atomic number of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen and add them up. Molar Mass.

The atomic number is equal solely to the number of protons in an atom.

no, you add the protons and neutrons

You mean molecular mass or moler mass, not atomic mass! Add up the atomic masses of all the atoms in the molecule.
The first four: 1. Be 2. C 3. O 4. Ne How I found this: Since Helium (He) has an atomic number of 2, add two to the atomic number of Be. Since the atomic number of Be is 4, and the atomic number of Helium is 2, you would add four plus two, which equals six. Carbon has an atomic number of six, so therefore it would be your next answer. The formula is the atomic number of Helium plus the atomic number of element you are provided with equals the atomic number of your answer. In simpler terms: atomic number of He+atomic number= atomic number of answer
The atomic number is the whole # on the periodic table or the # of protons in an atom. The atomic mass is the # that is not the whole # on the periodic table, or you can multiply the mass of the isotope by its abundance and add the answers together.
There is no "atomic number" associated with Sulfur HexaFluoride. There is an atomic mass associated with the molecule. Just add up the atomic masses of 1 sulfur atom and 6 Fluoride atoms.
The "Atomic number" of an element corresponds to the number of only the protons in the nucleus of its atoms. Add to that the number of neutrons that are also in there, and you have the "Atomic weight".
