O-16 has 8 neutrons with mass of 8 amu
Mass of an atom is determined by the no. of protons+ no. of neutrons in the atom.
The number of neutrons in an atom can affect the atomic mass of an atom.
Mass of an atom = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
Mass number!:)
The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.
20. the mass of an atom is determined by the sum of the number of neutrons and protons the atom has.
The atomic mass of an atom is the total mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom, measured in atomic mass units (amu). It is approximately equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the atom's nucleus.
No, neutrons + protons = mass
The mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Since selenium usually has 34 neutrons, an atom of selenium with 31 neutrons would have a mass number of 34 (31 neutrons + 17 protons).
The major contribution to the mass of an atom is from protons and neutrons; electrons have a known but negligible mass.
No actually, the neutrons and the protons of an atom are relatively the same in mass. Electrons have the smallest mass in an atom, and are not even considered when we look at the mas sof an atom.
S with 17 neutrons and 16 protons has a mass number of 33 amu
