just a bit heavier than a proton.
Atomic mass = mass of protons + mass of neutrons.
The atomic mass is equal to the number of protons plus neutrons. So if you know the atomic number then you can find out the number of neutrons Atomic # is the amount of Protons or Electrons Atomic Mass- Number of protons plus neutrons Atomic Mass-Atomic Number = Amount of neutrons

No. of neutrons=Atomic mass -Atomic No.=10-3=7 It has 7 neutrons.

Atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
To find the number of neutrons simply subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass. In this case there are two neutrons.
The number of neutrons in an atom can affect the atomic mass of an atom.
The number of neutrons can be calculated if the atomic number and mass number of an element is known. The number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number.
atomic mass = number of neutrons + number of protons.
Number protons + number neutrons is called the mass number or the atomic mass.
Atomic mass = Mass of protons + Mass of neutrons
