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.

∙ 13y agoProtons and neutrons are in the nucleus. The number of each type of particle varies for different elements.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIt depends on the atom, but each nucleus contains a sum of Protons and Neutrons.

∙ 8y agoThat depends on the specific atom! Assuming that with "particles" you refer to protons and neutrons (as opposed to the quarks they are made of), anywhere from 1 to over 200.

What is the mass number minus the atomic number called?
Nucleon Number (total number of protons and neutrons)
What is atomic number or atomic mass?
ATOMIC MASS ;The total numbers of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom is called atomic mass and it is represented by A ATOMIC NUMBER;the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom are called atomic number or proton number and it is represented by Z
How many neutrons are in A1?
How many neutrons are in A1? Look at a periodic table. Al is number 13, which means it has its nucleus ha 13 protons. The number 27 means it has a total of 27 particles in the nucleus. Do a little subtraction and you will discover Al's nucleus has 14 neutrons. 13 + 14 = 27.!!
How was the atomic number and the atomic mass determined?
the atomic number is determined by looking above top of the letter[s] on an element on the periodic table of elements
What is the element with104 neutrons?
Lutetium (Lu) has 104 neutrons To find this number for any element, take the atomic number (lutetium is 71 on the periodic table) and the mass number of the element and subtract to find neutrons. The atomic number represents the number of Protons and electrons in an atom, the mass number can be found by rounding the atomic mass. If you subtract the # of protons from the total it will tell you how many particles , or neutrons, are left in the nucleus of the atom.. The atomic mass of Lu is 174.967 amu Therefore 175 (total particles) -71 (proton particles)= 104 Neutron particles.
What does the mass number equal?
The total number of subatomic particles in the nucleus
The atomic number for an element is the total number of subatomic particles?
False; the atomic number is the total number if protons in the nucleus only.
What is the total number of subatomic particles in the nucleus of an atom bi?
In this case, the number 209 represents the sum of protons + neutrons.
What do you find when you subtract the proton number from the nucleon number?
In chemistry and physics, a nucleon is one of the two particles that make up the atomic nucleus. Protons are one of the nucleons, Neutrons are the other nucleon.Thus by subtracting the number of Protons in the nucleus (the Proton number) from the total number of nucleons (the nucleon number) you will get the total number of Neutrons (the neutron number) in the atoms nucleus.
How is the isotope different from an element?
An element is defined by the number of protons in the nucleus; for example, carbon always has 6 protons. Elements can also have different numbers of neutrons in the atomic nucleus, and each number of neutrons gives you a different isotope. So, there is the isotope called carbon 12, with 6 neutrons (12 nuclear particles in total) and there is also the isotope called carbon 14, with 8 neutrons (14 nuclear particles in total). Every element has a number of isotopes.
What is it called the total number of the positively charged and the uncharged particles?
number of protons + number of neutrons = mass number
What is the mass number minus the atomic number called?
Nucleon Number (total number of protons and neutrons)
If you know the atomic number and the mass number of an isotope how could you figure out the number of neutrons in its nucleus.?
The mass number is the total number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus. The atomic number is the total number of protons in the nucleus. So subtract the atomic number from the mass number and that will give you the total number of neutrons in the nucleus.

What is mass number equal to?
The mass number of an atom is defined as the total number of protons and neutron (collectively called "nucleons") in the atomic nucleus. For example, a helium atom with 2 protons and 2 neutrons would have a mass number of 4.
