How do you determine an atom's mass number?

mass number= no. of protons + no. of neutron


What is atomic mass A and neutron number N for given atom?

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.

protons and neutrons


The sum of the number of protons in the number of neutrons in and Atom is the what?

The number of protons plus the neutron number is called the atomic mass or "mass number".

What is mass number equal to?

The mass number of an atom is defined as the total number of protons and neutron (collectively called "nucleons") in the atomic nucleus. For example, a helium atom with 2 protons and 2 neutrons would have a mass number of 4.


What does the Mass number in chemistry represent?

Which subatomic particle causes the mass number to change but has no effect on the identity of the element?

We make atomic number by number of protons in a atom. We make mass number by total of both protons and neutrons.


How does the mass number of an atom change when its nucleus absorbs a neutron?

Essentially the 3 basic parts to an atom are a Proton, Neutron and an Electron. Protons have a unit of mass and a positive charge Neutrons have a unit of mass and a neutral charge Electrons have no unit of mass and a negative charge. When a neutron breaks off from another atom it becomes a free radical that is then absorbed by the receiving atom because it would have a spare neutron space because the number of neutrons must be identical to the number of protons otherwise the atom will radioactivity decay. Essentially the mass number changes because the neutron has a mass.
