Atomic Mass of an atom = number of neutrons + number of protons
For example the Deuterium isotope of Hydrogen
Atomic mass number = 2
Atomic number = 1
The atomic number is the same as number of protons, so the Deuterium isotope has 1 proton
atomic mass of an atom = number of neutrons + number of protons
2 = n + 1
n = 1
For a neutral atom, the relationship between the number of protons and the number of neutrons is the same.
Atomic number = number of protons + number of neutrons Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
The atomic number is equivalent to the number of protons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
Isotopes of an element has different number of neutrons.
Yes, the difference between the mass number and the atomic number of an isotope equals the number of neutrons in the nucleus, which are also known as nucleons. This relationship helps to identify the number of neutrons in an isotope based on its atomic and mass numbers.
Yes, there is a relationship between atomic mass and the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. The atomic mass is approximately equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, as electrons have negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons. The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons, in order to maintain a balanced charge.
The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It also corresponds to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. A neutral atom, you'll recall, is one where the number of electrons equals the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. We remember that atoms often "loan out" or "borrow" electrons, so the electron count will not always equal the proton count.
Whether an ISOTOPE (not element) is naturally radioactive depends not only on the number of protons, but also on the number of neutrons. For EVERY element, there are radioactive isotopes.There has to be a certain relationship between the number of protons and the number of neutrons, but the relationship isn't a simple one.
Each isotope of the same element has a specific mass number, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
The number of neutrons is the difference between mass number and the number of protons.
There is no general exact relationship, because of the existence of neutrons in the nuclei of almost all elements and the lack of effect of neutrons on atomic number. An atom's gram atomic mass, however, is equal to the mass of one mole of the atoms in question.
For each isotope of Fl the number of neutrons is different (the number of neutrons is between 170 and 175). Number of neutrons = Mass number of an Fl isotope - 114
