The number protons in an atom is called the atomic number (it is this number that tells us which element the atom is).

The number of neutrons in an atom can change, but the term for the amount of neutrons is called an isotope.

The number of protons and neutrons added together is called the Atomic Mass.

What particles are added together to determine atomic mass?

The atomic mass of an atom is determined by the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, and neutrons have no charge. The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus is called its mass number.
