mass number = protons + nuetrons
mass number = protons + nuetrons
The combined number of protons and neutrons is known as the mass number of an atom. It can be used to calculate the atomic mass by adding the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
Mass number is about the neutrons and protons. The total of neutrons and protons.
Nucleon Number (total number of protons and neutrons)
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.
The total mass of the protons and neutrons in an atom is called the atomic mass or mass number. It is often represented by the symbol A.
The atomic mass of an atom is determined by the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, and neutrons have no charge. The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus is called its mass number.
The sum is called mass number.
It is about neutrons and protons. The total of neutrons and protons.
Mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons. because the nucleus consists of protons and neutrons only, the sum of protons and neutrons is the total number of ALL the nucleons. note the term "ALL" here.. this is the reason why mass number is denoted as "A".
The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.
Sulfur has 16 electrons, protons and neutrons.
