when you could check in most of atoms that we have you will see that the sum of protons and electrons equals to or is called the atomic weight or Atomic Mass...that is if you add protons to electrons you have your atomic mass.

How atomic mass describes the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom?
Atomic mass is the total of the number of protons PLUS the number of neutrons.
What is the total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom?
The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.
What does the atomic number of an atom made of?
An atomic nucleus contain protons and neutrons; protons and neutrons contain quarks and gluons.
What particles make up the mass of an atom?
The number of protons
The number of protons and neutrons in an atom?
Depends on the atom. The atomic number will give you the number of protons. The atomic weight will give you approximately the number of protons and neutrons combined.
Which pair below describes isotopes of the same element Aan atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons - an atom with 8 protons an 6 neutrons Ban atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons - an atom with 6 p?
The pair below that describes isotopes of the same element is B, an atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons-an atom with 6 protons. It is not A, an atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons- an atom with 8 protons and 6 neutrons. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, which is the atomic number of the element.
How atomic mass describes the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom?
