The mass number of an atom is determined by the number of neutrons and protons. Since you already know the number of neutrons, you just need the number of protons, then you can add them together. I happen to know that iodine has 53 protons, so that means that the mass number is 127.It is the protons and neutrons added together so when you add 53 and 74 you get 127!

Hope that helped a lot!! :):):):):):):)

What information must be known in order to calculate the mass number if an atom?

The mass number = the number of protons + the number of nuetrons. Each of these particles is considered to have a mass of 1 amu. (atomic mass unit) For example, Aluminum has 13 protons and 14 nuetrons, so it's mass number = 27.


What is the difference between an atomic number and mass number?

no. of protons+no. of nuetrons in an atom is known as mass no. of that atom.while no . of protons present in an atom is called its atomic no.thus, in 1st condition we consider both, no. of protons as well as no. of nuetrons and in the 2nd condition we just consider no. of protons.


The sum of the numberof protons and nuetrons in the nucleus of an atom?

The sum of the number of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is called as atomic mass.


Which particles in a atom have a mass of 1?

protons and nuetrons


What does the atomic mass tell us?

it tells us that the number is equal to the number of protons plus the number of nuetrons in the nucleus of an atom


How do the nuetrons relate the the identity of an atom?

The number of neutrons and protons together constitutes the mass number of a single isotope of an element.
