The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom varies for each isotope of the element.

Atomic number 25 means the atom contains 25 Protons, and it is the element Manganese (Mn).

Manganese has 4 isotopes 52Mn, 53Mn, 54Mn & 55Mn.

Take the number of protons (always 25 with Mn) from the isotope number and you will have the number of Neutrons in the nucleus. eg 55Mn will have 30 Neutrons.

Mass number - atomic number?

The mass number represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. The atomic number specifies the number of protons in the nucleus. The difference between the mass number and atomic number gives the number of neutrons in the nucleus.


Atomic mass is determined by the number of protons plus the number of?

neutrons in an atom's nucleus. It is measured in atomic mass units (amu) and provides the total mass of an atom. The atomic mass is approximately equal to the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, as the mass of electrons is negligible.


Is atomic mass the amount of neutrons in the nucleus in the atom?

atomic mass = number of neutrons + number of protons.


The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom can be calculated by what?

The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom can be calculated by subtracting the number of protons (atomic number) from the atomic mass of the atom. Atomic mass - Atomic number = Number of neutrons.


What contributes to an atom's atomic number and to its mass number?

An atom's atomic number is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus, which are positively charged. The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, as neutrons contribute to the atom's mass but not its charge.


Neutrons in the nucleus of an atom calculated?

Mass number minus atomic number = number of neutrons


The sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is the?

Atomic Mass. This can vary depending upon the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Whereupon it is known as an ISOTOPE. Do NOT confuse Atomic Mass , with Atomic Number(Z). The Atomic Number is an elements position in the Periodic Table, AND the number of PROTONS in the nucleus.


What are the differences between the atomic number and the mass number of an atom?

atomic no is the no of protones in a nucleus while atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons in nucleus of an atom....


What is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons?

If you add the number of protons to the number of neutrons in an atom, you have calculated that atom's atomic mass.


An atom of sulfur is represented by 3316S. How many neutrons are in the nucleus of this atom?

The number 33 in "3316S" represents the atomic number of sulfur, which is the number of protons in its nucleus. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass. In this case, the atomic mass is 16, so there are 16 - 33 = 16 neutrons in the nucleus.


Is the mass number of an atom equal to the atomic number?

Only if the atom is hydrogen-1! The mass number of the atom is equal to the sum of the numbers of protons, which is the same as the atomic number, plus the number of neutrons. The only non-radioactive atom without neutrons is hydrogen-1.


Atomic mass is the number of what in the nucleus?

Atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons that are present in the nucleus While the number of protons and electrons remain constant in the neutral atom, the number of neutrons may vary within different atom species of the same element. As a result, the atomic mass for one atom may be different from another atom of the same element if the number of neutrons varies.
