Mass number!:)
The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Therefore, an atom with 10 protons and 10 neutrons would have a mass number of 20.
The number of protons
The mass number of an atom indicates the total number of protons and neutrons in the atom's nucleus.
The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.
The sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom is known as the atomic mass. It is equivalent to the mass number of the atom, which represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
The major contribution to the mass of an atom is from protons and neutrons; electrons have a known but negligible mass.
neutrons in an atom's nucleus. It is measured in atomic mass units (amu) and provides the total mass of an atom. The atomic mass is approximately equal to the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, as the mass of electrons is negligible.
Mass number = Protons+Neutrons
The mass number of an atom of calcium with twenty protons and twenty neutrons is 40. This is because the mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
To the find the mass number of an atom you add the protons and neutrons. Meaning that the mass number of this atom is 12.
No, neutrons + protons = mass
