Best Answer

Cadmium atomic number is 48. so, it can have 48 protons and neutrons and electrons each. it has mass less than 100.

96cadmium has 48 protons and 48 neutrons.

96 means its mass i.e, number of protons and number of neutrons

Why can an element have the same atomic mass as another element?

Two elements can have the same atomic mass if one has more or less neutrons than protons in the nucleus. These are called isotopes. not much to im prov thank you

Why can't the mass number be smaller than the atomic number?

The mass number has to be greater then the atomic number because the mass number is the protons plus the neutrons. If you were to take 10-12 you would get a negative number of 2 and there can't be a negative number of neutrons!


What is an aton with a different mass number than normal?

An isotope of the element. The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.


How many protons does and atom with and atomic number of 23 and a mass number of 51 have?

23 Protons and 28 Neutrons. The atomic number is always equal to the number of protons in an element. The element is vanadium (symbol V). Any atom with 23 protons is be vanadium, but some vanadium atoms will have more or less than 28 neutrons. The mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons together, and this can vary for the same element (called isotopes). To find the number of neutrons, just subract the atomic number from the mass number.

How many protons and neutrons are bigger than electrons in sodium?

All If "bigger" refers to mass, then all protons or neutrons are bigger than electrons, regardless of the element.


Why is it impossible for the atomic number of element to be greater than its mass number?

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of that element (and in any isotope of that element). The mass number of an element is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in the nucleus of that element (and that number will differ for each isotope of that element). In any given element (save hydrogen) there are always one or more neutrons in the nucleus. As the atomic number is just the number of protons, it will always be less than the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. Always. The "outcast" is hydrogen. Most hydrogen has just a single proton in the nucleus. That means for those atoms of hydrogen, the atomic number (number of protons) and the mass number (number of protons plus the number of neutrons) will be one. (Recall that there are no neutrons in "regular" hydrogen.) Hydrogen does have two other isotopes. One has one neutron and the other has two neutrons. The atomic number for each of those two isotopes is still one, but their mass numbers will be two and three, respectively.


Distinguish between the atomic number and mass number of an element?

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of the element. Mass number is a property of a particular isotope of the element rather than of the element itself: The mass number is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of each atom of the isotope.
