It may or may not equal, neutrons are responsible for stability of nucleus.
The number of protons in a atom is equal to the atomic number, therefor Ag has 47 protons. The number of protons and neutrons in an atom is equal to the atomic mass, therefor (108-47= 61) Ag has 61 neutrons. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons therefor Ag has 47 electrons.
The mass number is the average atomic mass of all the isotopes that are found in nature.
No, the atomic weight of an element is not equal to the number of protons minus the number of neutrons. Atomic weight is the average weight of an element's isotopes taking into account their abundance, which includes the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Mass number!:)
The sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom is known as the atomic mass. It is equivalent to the mass number of the atom, which represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
The number of protons and neutrons is not equal. The equality is not a rule.
neutrons in order to be stable. The number of protons determines the element's identity, while the stability of the nucleus is influenced by the balance of protons and neutrons. Isotopes can have different numbers of neutrons while maintaining the same number of protons.
Often, but not always, atoms with an equal number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus are stable and not radioactive.
Protons and Neutrons
No. The number of neutrons has no affect on the number of protons and electrons.
Well, the neutrons AND protons are totaled together to equal the atomic weight!
If you add the number of protons to the number of neutrons in an atom, you have calculated that atom's atomic mass.
The number of protons in a atom is equal to the atomic number, therefor Ag has 47 protons. The number of protons and neutrons in an atom is equal to the atomic mass, therefor (108-47= 61) Ag has 61 neutrons. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons therefor Ag has 47 electrons.
Protons
The mass number = protons + neutrons
The mass number of an element is equal to the sum of the elements neutrons and protons.
No
