∙ 9y agoThe mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom. In this case, the atom has 11 protons and 12 neutrons, so the mass number is 11 + 12 = 23.

∙ 11y ago23 is the mass number, the mass number consists of protons and neutrons together, 11+12=23

∙ 8y agoIt is the sodium element. Generally it contains 12 neutrons.
An atom with 15 protons has 15 electrons to balance the charge. The number of neutrons does not affect the number of electrons in an atom.
A chlorine atom with 17 protons will also have 17 electrons to maintain neutrality. The number of neutrons (18) does not affect the number of electrons in an atom.
A gold atom typically has 79 protons, 118 neutrons, and 79 electrons.
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So, in an atom with three protons, it would contain three electrons. The number of neutrons does not affect the charge or number of electrons in the atom.
The number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons. Therefore, an atom with 8 protons will have 8 electrons.
An atom with 15 protons has 15 electrons to balance the charge. The number of neutrons does not affect the number of electrons in an atom.
In a helium atom, there are 2 protons, 2 neutrons, and 2 electrons. This gives helium an atomic number of 2 and a mass number of 4.
An atom has the same number of protons as electrons since they are electrically neutral.
Neutrons = 10. Protons = 10. And electrons = 10.
Americium has 95 protons and electrons. Number of neutrons: Atomic Mass of an isotope - number of protons
The number of protons
No, an atom with the same number of protons as neutrons is not necessarily a neutral atom. Neutrality depends on the number of electrons, which must balance the positive charge of the protons.
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons of the nucleus.
A chlorine atom with 17 protons will also have 17 electrons to maintain neutrality. The number of neutrons (18) does not affect the number of electrons in an atom.
not usually, a standard atom will contain the same amount of electrons and PROTONS, not neutrons
An atom of oxygen has 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons. The number of protons determines the element's identity and is equal to the atomic number, while the number of neutrons can vary, leading to different isotopes. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.
A gold atom typically has 79 protons, 118 neutrons, and 79 electrons.
