It is about the helium gas. mass number of it is 4.
Sulfur has 16 electrons, protons and neutrons.
The protons and neutrons are packed together in the middle and the electrons have space to move, around them. logically their should be MORE neutrons and protons,but this depends on the size of the atom and how many atoms in the neon. info from SUSSEX UNIVERSITY.
The weight of an atom is primarily controlled by the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Protons and neutrons have approximately the same weight, while electrons have negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons.
It is nothing but the total no of protons and electrons .So it is found by summing the total no protons and electrons present in an atom It is not electrons but the total of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of any atom.
Phosphorus has an atomic no. of 15 and its atomic mass is 31.=we know,atomic no.=number of protons==also, atomic mass=no.of protons+no. of neutrons==this implies, 31=15+no. of neutrons= 31-15=no. of neutrons= 16=no. of neutrons==also,no. of protons=no, of electrons=so, total no. of protons=15total no. of electrons=15total no. of neutrons=16
The atomic mass of an atom is determined by the combined masses of its protons, neutrons, and electrons. While electrons contribute very little to the atomic mass, the protons and neutrons, found in the nucleus, account for the majority of an atom's mass.
In Carbon-12 there are 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons.
The number of protons
Calcium is an element, which means that it is made up protons/electrons and neutrons. Each calcium atom contains a total of 20 protons/electrons, and 20 neutrons.
the total mass of its protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Protons = 92 Electrons = 92 Neutrons = 146 The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atom are each equal to the atomic number of the element (92). The number of neutrons equals the atomic weight minus the number of protons (238 - 92 = 146).Uranium has 92 protons, 92 electrons, and usually 147 neutrons, though another isotope has 143 neutrons.
The atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus because protons and neutrons have a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit each. Electrons are much lighter and do not significantly contribute to the overall mass of the atom.
