The Atomic Mass is the can be determined by the number of protons in an atom. Remember that a proton has an atomic mas number of 1 AMU (atomic mass unit).
(The total mass of an atom is the protons, neutrons and electrons combined.)

The atomic number of an atom is determined by the number of?
Protons
The atomic number of an element determines its?
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus.
What is the relationship between the atomic number and the elements identity?
Every elements has atomic number, elements identity determined the number of protons in its nucleus.
What information can you gather knowing the atomic number and mass of an element?
If you know the atomic no. and atomic mass, then the no. of electrons, no. of protons and no. of neutrons can also be determined. Atomic No.=No. of electrons = No. of protons. No. of neutrons=Atomic mass-Atomic no. Also, by no. of electrons you can determine its valency and the no. of valence electrons.
What determines the properties of elements?
the properties of elements are determined by the structures of their atoms.
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of?
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons within it's nucleus.
Atomic mass is determined by the number of protons plus the number of?
Atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
How were the atomic number and the atomic masses of the elements determined?
Atomic masses are determined by mass spectrometry. The atomic number is identic with the number of protons in the atom - depends on position in the periodic table.
The atomic number is determined by the number of what?
Protons
The atomic weight of an element is determined by what?
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus.
How are electrons determined?
By subtracting the atomic mass and atomic number
What is an element is determined by the number of?
The identity of an element is determined by the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms. This is the atomic number of an element.
What determens the atomic number of an atom?
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus.
