The mass number
mass number
The gas with atomic mass of 16 and has 8 neutrons is oxygen.
Looking at a periodic table, you see Al is number 13. It has 13 protons in the nucleus,so to have a total mass number of 24, it must have 11 nuetrons. Mass number = # protons + # nuetrons
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.
Carbon is a non metallic element. Mass number of it is 12.
mass number = protons + nuetrons
it has 35 nuetrons, 30 protons, and 30 electrons with a mass of 65
== The equation of atomic mass is protons+nuetrons== atomic mass. ===
because the electrons plus the nuetrons equal the mass
protons and nuetrons
The mass number
To calculate the atomic mass of an element, add up the mass of protons and nuetrons.
The Mass Number.
mass number
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.
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of the isotope - 87
