Where are protons and neutrons of an atom contained?
The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons. Different amount of neutrons- Isotopes. Different amount of protons- Different element.
The atomic mass of an atom is determined by the combined masses of its what?
The total number of protons plus the total number of neutrons
What particles make up the mass of an atom?
The number of protons
The nucleus of an atom is constituted of?
Protons and Neutrons.
In a magnesium atom where are the protons and neutrons?
In an atom protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus.
What is the total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom called?
The atomic mass.
Where are protons and neutrons of an atom contained?
The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons. Different amount of neutrons- Isotopes. Different amount of protons- Different element.
What is the difference the atomic number of 6 of an atom and it's mass number?
If the atomic number of an atom is 6 it means that the atom has 6 protons, the mass number on the other hand is the total amount of protons and neutrons in the atom. ( Remember- the amount of protons equals the amount of electrons). So for example if you wanted to find out the amount of neutrons in an atom, you would subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass for the answer. (Whole-protons=neutrons)
Protons neutrons and electrons combine to form what?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons can form any type of atom on the Periodic Table of Elements.The amount of protons determine what type of element an atom is.If the number of neutrons differ from the stable amount it should have, the atom is known as an isotope.If the amount of electrons differ from the amount of protons, the atom is known as an ion.
Does an atom have a charge if the neutrons equals the protons?
It depends on the amount of electrons in the outer shells. The neutrons do not affect the charge of an atom as they are already neutron. There is only a charge if there is a difference in protons and electrons, not protons and neutrons.
What does the Mass number in chemistry represent?
the atomic mass incdicated the amount of protons and neutrons of the atom
What is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons?
If you add the number of protons to the number of neutrons in an atom, you have calculated that atom's atomic mass.
N atom has 7 protons and a mass number of 14 What is the number of neutrons in an atom of N?
Unless N is a isotope it will have the same amount of neutrons as protons
D Particles found in the nucleus of nucleus of atoms?
Protons and Neutrons are found in the Nucleus of the Atom. An atom's atomic number corresponds to the amount of protons (differnt amount of protons=different element). There are usually the same amount of Neutrons and Protons, but in some cases theere are more Neutrons (these are called different isotopes).
The atomic mass of an atom is determined by the combined masses of its what?
The total number of protons plus the total number of neutrons
Where are protons and neutrons in an atom?
protons and neutrons are located in the atom's nucleus.
What is the total number protons and neutrons in an atom called?
mass number = protons + nuetrons
