Atomic Mass is the number of protons and neutrons that make up an atom.
The neutron number is only the number of neutrons present in the atom. This can be found by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass.

How would adding a neutron to an atom affect its atomic number?
Atomic number = Number of protons. So addition of neutron has no affect on the atomic number.Isotopes of the same element are formed by the change in neutrons.
How do you determine the number of neutron?
Protons = Atomic Number Electrons = Atomic Number Neutrons = Atomic Mass - Atomic Number *A note on Atomic Mass* Atomic Mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Every time you remove or add a Proton/Electron or a Neutron, you change the mass by one. *A note on Protons and Electrons* The number of Protons and Electrons in an atom is always the same. Whenever you talk about adding/removing a proton or an electron, you are by default adding/removing one of the other as well.
Can you identify an atom without knowing number of neutrons in it?
Yes, and in order to find the Number of Neutrons, subtract Atomic Mass from Number Of Protons, the result will be the Number of Neutrons for that atom *No. Of Neutron=Atomic Mass - Number Of Protons
The diffirentiate of atomic mass and atomic number?
Atomic mass is defined as the sum of the no. of proton and neutron present in the nucleus of an atom and Atomic Number is defined as the no. of electrons present in the extra nuclear part of an atom . BY; SHUBHAM KAKKAR
What type of particle has an atomic number of 1 and a mass number of 1?
Of the common sub-atomic particles, both the proton and the neutron have mass numbers of 1.
How do you calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom?
You calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom by : atomic mass - atomic number = neutron number. :) hope this helps
What is another term for neutron number?
In a neutral atom the protons and neutrons are equal; protons are determined by the element's atomic number. Therefore, the "neutron number" can refer to the atomic number- in a neutral atom only.
How do you determine the number of neutron's in an atom of a given element?
Atomic Mass minus atomic number. This is rather simplified but the atomic mass of an element is the total of all the protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom. Each proton and neutron has an atomic mass of approximately 1 AMU (atomic mass units) while an electron has an atomic mass of about 0.0005 AMU. So, you don't need to worry about the electrons. The atomic number of an element is simply the number of protons in the atom. So, atomic mass (number of protons and neutrons) minus atomic number (number of protons) equals number of neutrons in an atom.
What does the number of neutrons determine?
they determine the atomic mass of the atom
The chemical properties of an atom are determined by its atomic?
The chemical properties of an atom are determined by the number of protons that are existent in the particular atom. This value is given by the atomic number.
Is the atomic number of an atom equal to its number of protons and the atomic mass is equal to its number of neutron Protons?
yes
Is it true the number of neutron in the nucleus of atom called atomic number?
Yes. that is right.
How would adding a neutron to an atom affect its atomic number?
Atomic number = Number of protons. So addition of neutron has no affect on the atomic number.Isotopes of the same element are formed by the change in neutrons.
How many protons and neutron and electrons are in the atom?
Carbon does not have an atomic number of 14.
How do you figure the number of neutron's in an atom?
Take the Atomic Mass and round it to the nearest whole number. Then subtract this number and the atomic number of that element.
How do you calculate nutrons?
neutron can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number of the particular atom from its mass number.
How is the term atomic number defined for a given atom or isotope?
Atomic Number is the number of protons that an atom has. The atomic number is different for each element.
