We don't round off atomic masses. The averaged Atomic Mass depends on the proportions of the various isotopes of that element.
In this case, the element is hydrogen, which normally has an atomic mass of 1. Most hydrogen atoms have a single proton and no neutrons, so a total of 1. There's an isotope of hydrogen sometimes called "heavy hydrogen" or "deuterium", which has one proton (which makes it hydrogen) but which also has one neutron, for an atomic mass of 2.
You can probably calculate how many "1"s you need to include for each "2" to make the average 1.0079. It's a bunch.
There's an even heavier isotope called "tritium", which has one proton and two electrons, for an atomic mass of 3. Tritium is radioactive, and does not occur in nature except as a product of radioactive decay.
You can i guess im pretty sure you'll get your answer.
remember atomic mass minus atomic number and there you go
its the same thing
no you round it to the tenths
mass no. = no. of protons + no. of neutrons
The number of neutrons can be calculated if the atomic number and mass number of an element is known. The number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number.

The atomic mass is equal to the number of protons plus neutrons. So if you know the atomic number then you can find out the number of neutrons Atomic # is the amount of Protons or Electrons Atomic Mass- Number of protons plus neutrons Atomic Mass-Atomic Number = Amount of neutrons
The formula is Atomic Mass (rounded to the nearest whole number) minus the Atomic Number. This works because Protons and Neutrons have virtually the same mass, and electrons virtually none. As well as the Atomic Number being equal to the amount of Protons. Essentially: Protons + Neutrons - Protons = Neutrons. Basic Prealgebra. So to find the amount of Neutrons in Erbium: Erbium's Atomic Mass rounded (167) - Erbium's Atomic Number (68) = approx. 99 Neutrons
To find the number of neutrons in an atom, first find the atomic weight of the element and round that number to the nearest whole number. Then, find the atomic number of the element. Subtract that number from the atomic weight and the number of neutrons will be found.
The atomic mass (rounded to the nearest whole number) is the number of nucleons - i.e. protons+neutrons. The atomic number is just the number of protons. So the difference between the two (mass minus number) tells you the number of neutrons.
The mass number is the sum of number of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus.
Number of protons = atomic number Number of neutrons = Atomic Mass (rounded to the nearest whole number) minus the atomic number Number of electrons in a stable element = number of protons Number of electrons in an unstable element = atomic number minus the charge
Roughly, subtract the atomic number (6) from it's atomic mass (12.01) and round to the nearest integer to get the average number of neutrons in a carbon sample, in this case 6.
Atomic number means number of protons present in an atom. Atomic number= number of protons. mass number = number of neutrons+ number of protons. So if you subtract the number of protons you get neutrons and if you subtract neutrons you get protons. mass number - protons= neutrons Mass number - neutrons = protons.
To find the number of neutrons, all you need to do is round the atomic weight to the nearest whole number. The atomic weight of nitrogen is 14.007, or about 14. The atomic weight is basically the average number of particles in an atom's nucleus. What particles are located in the nucleus?? The protons and the neutrons. So, all you have to do is subtract the number of protons from the atomic weight and you get the neutrons!!HERE'S HOW YOU DO IT:Nitrogen's atomic # = 7Nitrogen's atomic mass = 14Neutrons + Protons = Atomic Mass so... 14-7=7The number of neutrons is 7.
Typically to find the number of neutrons, you first round the atomic mass to the nearest whole number. After that to you subtract the number of protons (which is the same as the atomic number) from the newly rounded atomic mass and the resulting number is the number of neutrons. lets use Carbon for example: Atomic mass: 12.01 Atomic mass rounded: 12.00 Number of Protons (same as atomic number): 6 (Rounded atomic mass - number of protons)=6 So Carbon has 6 neutrons. Hope that is easy enough to understand.
