atomic number = number of proton in an element number of proton = number of electron mass number = number of proton + number of neutron therefore... atomic number = mass number - number of neutrons
You calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom by : atomic mass - atomic number = neutron number. :) hope this helps
atomic number = number of proton in an element number of proton = number of electron mass number = number of proton + number of neutron therefore... atomic number = mass number - number of neutrons
If you mean to find the amount of neutrons in an atom, you take the atomic mass and subtract the atomic number (the number of protons). That gives you the average number of neutrons.
Atomic mass - Atomic number
This is the weighted average neutron number for the naturally occurring isotopes of nickel, which has the atomic number 28 and the gram-atomic mass of 58.69. In an individual isotope, the neutron number is always the isotopic atomic mass number minus the atomic number, and the same principle applies to the weighted average neutron number for the naturally occurring isotopes of an element.
Nope, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
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.
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.
yes
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.
atomic # = protons atomic mass - atomic number = neutrons atomic # - charge = electrons
