The number of neutrons plus the number of protons gives you the approximate Atomic Mass of an atom in atomic mass units. The actual mass varies due to nuclear energy and the mass-energy equivalence demonstrated by Einstein's E=mc^2.

What does mass do?

The Atomic Mass is equal to the number of protons plus neutrons. So if you know the atomic number then you can find out the number of neutrons Atomic # is the amount of Protons or Electrons Atomic Mass- Number of protons plus neutrons Atomic Mass-Atomic Number = Amount of neutrons


How do you find the mass number given the proton electrons and atomic number but not the neutrons?

The mass number of an atom is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. This is is the same as the number of electrons plus the number of neutrons since the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons in an atom.


The number of protons plus neutrons in an alpha particle?

2 protons and 2 neutrons. An alpha particle is the same as a helium nucleus.


In the chemical shorthand 14c the fourteen represents the number of?

The 14 in 14C represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the carbon atom's nucleus. Carbon-14 (14C) is a radioactive isotope with 6 protons and 8 neutrons.


The of an isotope is the number of neutrons plus protons.?

yeah. it is


What do we get while subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass number?

We get the number of neutrons. Atomic number is the number of protons, and atomic mass is protons plus neutrons.


What equals atomic mass minus protons?

Roughly, the number of neutrons. Note that the atomic mass is only approximately equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons - there is a relatively small discrepancy, due to the binding energy.


Does the number of neutrons equal the mass number?

no, the mass number is number of protons in an atom, plus the number of neutrons.


What equals the number of neutrons plus the number of protons in an atom?

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 mass number of an atom indicates the number of what?

The mass number is the sum of protons + neutrons.


The number of protons plus the number of neutrons gives the atomic?

Mass


How can you find the mass from the number of atoms?
