Can you tell the charge of an atom from its mass number?

No, it is impossible.


What can the atomic mass tell you about an atom?

the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.


How do you tell the number of neutrons in an element?

Subtract the atom number from the mass number to get the neutron. Mass number is the sum of neutrons and electrons. Atom number is the number of electrons. the number of electrons is equivalent to the number of protons.

How do you tell how many neutrons are in an atom with the atomic number of 12?

To find the number of neutrons in an atom with an atomic number of 12 (which is the number of protons), you would subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass number. The atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the atom. For an atom with an atomic number of 12, the number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting 12 from the atomic mass number given for that specific atom.

What do you get when you change the mass number of an atom?

You can't change the mass number of an atom because the mass number is the number of protons which is the atom's atomic number I hope this helped :)
