The number of protons
Protons, neutrons and electrons
No protons and neutrons
the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.
sodium has more protons and neutrons. electrons have practically no mass, valence electrons are just outer orbital electrons. sodium has 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons. Mass is 23. neon has 10 protons, 10 electrons, and 10 neutrons. Mass is just 20. The neon atom has 10 protons and 10 neutrons for a mass number of 20. The sodium atom has 11 protons and 12 neutrons for a mass number of 23. The number of valence electrons has no bearing on mass number or atomic weight.
Mass of an atom = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
The number of protons
For a stable atom, no. of protons= no. of electrons no of neutrons= Atomic Mass- no. of protons
For a stable atom, no. of protons= no. of electrons no of neutrons= Atomic Mass- no. of protons
Protons, neutrons and electrons
Protons, neutrons and electrons
No protons and neutrons
The mass number of this atom is 23, the sum of the number of protons and neutrons.
Americium has 95 protons and electrons. Number of neutrons: Atomic Mass of an isotope - number of protons
Protons, neutrons and electrons
The major contribution to the mass of an atom is from protons and neutrons; electrons have a known but negligible mass.
If you have 92 protons and 108 neutrons you will get 200 electrons
