How do you determine the number of protons electrons and neutrons present in an element by identifying its atomic and mass numbers from the periodic table?
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.
What is the sum of protons and neutrons known as an element?
Sum of protons and neutrons is the Mass number of the element. The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. Neutrons and protons are sub atomic particles.
What element has 18 protons 20 nuetrons and 18 electrons What is its atomic number?
The element with 18 protons is argon (Ar), with atomic number 18. Its mass number is calculated by adding the protons and neutrons, so 18 protons + 20 neutrons = mass number 38 for this particular isotope of argon.
If an atom has 11 protons 12 neutrons and 11 electrons what is the identify of the element and it's mass number?
The element is sodium with a mass number of 23. Sodium has 11 protons and thus an atomic number of 11. The mass number is calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons, which gives 23 in this case.
How can the number of protons electrons and neutrons be calculated when giving the mass number?
The atomic number must be known along with the mass number. Then the number of protons or electrons is the same as the atomic number, and the number of neutrons is the difference between the mass number and the atomic number.
What is The atomic mass of an element is equal to?
The number of protons, electrons, and neutrons:P
What is the atomic mass the same as?
The Atomic Mass is equal to the number of protons and electrons that an element has.
Can you use the mass number of an element to determine the number of electrons in an atom?
No, the mass number of an element is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. To determine the number of electrons, you would need to know the atomic number of the element, which is equal to the number of protons. Electrons in a neutral atom equal the number of protons.
How do you find the mass of an element?
Mass number..can be calculated..by the sum of No. of protons and the No. of electrons. And this would give you the the mass number of the element.
How many electrons and protons are in an element with an atomic?
put it in your mind! The Atomic number. is number of protons, While The Mass number. is number of protons and electrons. when you subtract both get the number of electrons and this for any element but not all elements have same atomic numbers or mass and Rutherford First discover "transmutation" from element to other element which determine by their atomic and mass numbers.
Atomic mass equals the number of what?
The atomic mass NUMBER equals the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. DO NOT confuse this with the mass of an atom.
Does the mass number equal the same number of electrons?
The atomic mass number does not equal the number of electrons in the element. The atomic number, on the other hand, does usually equal the number of electrons in the element, With the exception of ions.
An explination of what mass number and atomic number are?
The atomic number refers to the number of protons in the element. And since the number of protons = number of electrons, the atomic number is also the number of electrons in the element. The mass number of an element refers to the number of neutrons and protons in the element. &since electrons are negligible in mass, the number of neutrons can be found out by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. Take for example, oxygen. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and a mass number of 16. Hence, from the atomic number it can be derived that it has: 8 electrons 8 protons While from the mass number, it can be derive that it has: 16-8 = 8 neutrons
What information can you gather knowing the atomic number and mass of an element?
If you know the atomic no. and atomic mass, then the no. of electrons, no. of protons and no. of neutrons can also be determined. Atomic No.=No. of electrons = No. of protons. No. of neutrons=Atomic mass-Atomic no. Also, by no. of electrons you can determine its valency and the no. of valence electrons.
How are atomic mass and atomic number different?
Atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of an element. Atomic number is unique to each element. Atomic Mass is the combined mass of the protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom of an element.
How do you get the number of protons electrons and neutrons from the atomic mass number and atomic number?
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
Can the mass number be used to determine the number of electrons in an atom?
No, the mass number (number of protons and neutrons) cannot be used to determine the number of electrons in an atom. The number of electrons in an atom is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus, which is the atomic number. Electrons are equal in number to protons in a neutral atom.
