For example the isotope americium-241 has 95 protons, 95 electrons and 146 neutrons.
The sum is 336.
Several come to mind. They are both found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. They are nearly the same size, though neutrons are a bit larger. The sum of the protons and neutrons in an isotope of an element is its mass number.
The Atomic Mass number of an element is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of that element.The relative atomic mass is the average atomic mass number of all the known isotopes of an element.
The sum of protons and neutrons in an atom is called mass number.
mass no. = no. of protons + no. of neutrons
The sum of protons and neutrons is the atomic mass.
No. The number of neutrons has no affect on the number of protons and electrons.
Sum of protons and neutrons is the Mass number of the element. The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. Neutrons and protons are sub atomic particles.
No. The mass also includes electrons.
The sum of masses of protons, neutrons and electrons.
It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.
The mass number of this atom is 23, the sum of the number of protons and neutrons.
The mass number for iodine is 131, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons. Iodine has 53 protons and 53 electrons, if neutral. To find how many neutrons iodine has subtract 53, the number of protons from the mass number of 131. This shows that iodine has 78 neutrons.
Several come to mind. They are both found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. They are nearly the same size, though neutrons are a bit larger. The sum of the protons and neutrons in an isotope of an element is its mass number.
An element is made from atoms. Atoms contain protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons contain quarks and gluons.
The Atomic Mass number of an element is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of that element.The relative atomic mass is the average atomic mass number of all the known isotopes of an element.
Atomic mass number of the atom. The best way to remember it is: the majority of the mass of an atom is made up of the protons and neutrons (the electrons are very light!), therefore the atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons.
7 protons 7 electrons 8 neutrons
