Number or Nuclear Particles
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. Given an atomic mass of 201, this information alone does not provide the atomic number as different elements can have the same atomic mass due to isotopes. More specific information about the element is needed to determine the atomic number.
For a given substance, the relationship between mass and moles is determined by its molar mass, which is the mass of one mole of the substance measured in grams per mole (g/mol). To convert mass to moles, you divide the mass of the substance by its molar mass. The number of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) in a mole is given by Avogadro's number, approximately (6.022 \times 10^{23}) particles per mole. Therefore, to find the number of particles, you multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number.
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons
The mass number of an atom is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. This is is the same as the number of electrons plus the number of neutrons since the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons in an atom.
Subtract the number of protons from the elemental mass number for the isotope of the element given to find the number of neutrons.
That's not enough information. You need some additional information to calculate the mass.
The mass number of an element is the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Given that the atomic number (number of protons) uniquely identifies an element, knowing just the mass number of 41 is insufficient to determine the specific element without additional information.
Atomic mass is the average mass of all isotopes of a given element.
This information can help calculate the molar mass of water, which is 18 g/mol. By dividing the given mass of water by the number of moles, we get the molar mass.
To find the number of particles in a compound when given the mass, first calculate the number of moles using the provided mass and the molar mass of the compound. Then, use Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 particles/mol) to convert the moles to the number of particles in the compound.
The mass number is the amount of protons and neutrons in an element. The atomic number is equal to the amount of protons. Therefore to get the number of protons from the given information, you would subtract 37 from 72 which gives you 35 protons aka its atomic number!
Germanium has five naturally occurring isotopes ranging in atomic mass number from 70 to 76. The number given in the periodic table is: 72,63
