For example, Lithium has 3 protons and 4 neutrons in its nucleus. It's mass number is 7 (3+4). The mass number usually goes in front of the atomic symbol and in superscript, such as 7Li.
The answer is not Atomic Mass or atomic weight. Although atomic mass and atomic weight are slightly different measures, they both describe averages. To determine the total number of nucleons in an atom, you need to isolate a specific isotope and add together the number of protons and neutrons.
See the Related Questions below for how to find the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in any atom.
The sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus is called the "mass number".

The protons and neutrons, which are called nucleons when they are talked about as the components of an atomic nucleus, add up to make the atomic mass of an atom. Strictly speaking, the electrons are included, but they weigh next to nothing, being about 1/1836th the mass of a proton. That lets us use as the atomic mass the number of nucleons in the nucleus of the atom.
If all of the atomic masses of atoms of a given element are averaged, the result is the element's atomic weight. These terms are often confused and thus special care must be taken when using them.
The number of protons plus the neutron number is called the atomic mass or "mass number".
The total of the protons and neutrons of an atom is also known as nucleons. It is similar in isobars. In fact, numerically, it is also the molecular mass of that atom as well.
Total number of protons and neutrons is called atomic mass.This is the total mass of atom.
The total mumber is called mass number.

nass number is the number of neutrons plus protons in the nucleus of an atom
The number of protons added to the number of neutrons in a nucleus give that isotope's atomic weight.
It's close, but an atom is made of a nucleus and electrons. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons. The number of protons equals the atomic number of the element, and the atomic mass is the number of protons plus neutrons.
The atomic number of lithium is 3. Therefor there are 3 protons and neutron in the nucleus of lithium. Lithium also has 4 neutrons. atomic # = protons and neutrons neutrons = rounded atomic mass - atomic number Sources- 7th grade Acc. Science
Electrons are on the outside rings of an atom. neutrons and protons are together in the nucleus of the atom. There is always the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, equal to the atomic number of the element. The amount of neutrons varies, even between atoms of the same number, these varieties of an element are called isotopes. If the amount of protons and electrons varies, it is called an ion, and the chemical number is still equal to the amount of protons.
There are two types of particles in the nucleus of an atom, which are the Protons and the Neutrons. The number of particles in the nucleus depends what is the element. For example, Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in the nucleus and Phosphorus has 15 protons and 16 neutrons in the nucleus.

nass number is the number of neutrons plus protons in the nucleus of an atom
The sum of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus is called "mass number"; this value is different for each isotope.
The sum of the number of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is called as atomic mass.
Nucleon Number (total number of protons and neutrons)
The nucleus of an atom contains only protons and neutrons; there are never any electrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is generally equal to or greater than the number of protons.
The number of protons added to the number of neutrons in a nucleus give that isotope's atomic weight.
It's close, but an atom is made of a nucleus and electrons. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons. The number of protons equals the atomic number of the element, and the atomic mass is the number of protons plus neutrons.
The nucleus contains the protons and neutrons. The number of protons determines the atomic number of the element and the number of protons and the number of neutrons together determine the atomic mass.
The mass number indicates the number of protons AND neutrons in the nucleus. Since the number of neutrons can vary, so can the mass number. The different versions of elements based on the number of neutrons are called isotopes. Sulfur-35 has an atomic mass of 35. So, it has a total of 35 protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Since sulfur always has 16 protons, then the number of neutrons in this isotope is 19. (35 - 16 = 19)
