An isotope of the element. The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
Yes. The mass number is basic to the different elements, even more useful than the atomic number. (Unless it is an isotope. Isotopes have a different amount of neutrons than the basic element atom which makes a difference in mass number too. So, a difference in mass numbers doesn't always mean it is a different element.)
2 isotopes of the same element will have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. The sum of protons and neutrons is the mass number, so different isotopes will have different mass numbers.
I'm assuming you ask about the situation when isotopes has the same atomic number but different masses; this is normal because the number of neutrons in the isotopes of the same element is variable. But the number of protons (identical to atomic number) remain constant.
isotopes just mean they have a different number of neutrons so if the..Mass number = # of protons + # of neutrons -they will have a different (greater) mass
An Isotope of an element is an atom that has the same number of protons, (number of protons is the defining feature of an element) but different number of neutrons.Because The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons, different isotopes have different mass numbers.
atomic mass is the number of protons in an atom mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons in an atom
mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons DIFFERENT FROM ATOMIC MASS atomic mass = weighted average of all the isotopes of that element
No, they are not different. The atomic mass number is the average of the total number of the protons and neutrons in the atom of the existing isotopes of an element. That's why the atomic mass number is sometimes not a whole number but a decimal number as in oxygen being 15.999. FYI isotopes are different atoms of the same element that contain the same number of protons but have a different number of neutrons.
no

they have different mass number and number of neutrons protium consists of mass number 1 and have one neutron deutrium consists of mass number 2 and have two neutrons tirtium consists of 3 neutrons and have mass number 3 the difference in mass number is due to difference in neutrons.
