Atomic Mass is the number of protons in an atom

mass number is the number of protons plus neutrons in an atom

the number of neutrons would equal the mass number minus the atomic number.

To find the number of neutrons is an isotope start with the mass number and what?

The mass number of an isotope is the number of neutrons and protons in the isotope, let this be p +n = (mass number). To find the number of neutrons you need the atomic number (number of protons), let this be p. You then subtract the two: mass number - atomic number = no. of neutrons p + n - p = no. of neutrons = n


How do you find out the mass number?

How do you calculate the number of neutrons an element has in its nucleus?

You need to find the atomic number, and the atomic mass. The atomic number i the number of PROTONS in the nucleus, the atomic mass, or mass number, is the number of PROTONS and NEUTRONS in the nucleus. To find the number of neutrons you subtract the atomic number from the mass number.


How do you find the number of neutrons in an elements atoms?

What Used to find the number of neutrons?

To find the number of neutrons in an atom, subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass number. Neutrons are uncharged particles found in the nucleus of an atom and their number can vary for a given element based on isotopes.

What does mass do?

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
