when you could check in most of atoms that we have you will see that the sum of protons and electrons equals to or is called the atomic weight or Atomic Mass...that is if you add protons to electrons you have your atomic mass.
Atomic mass is the total of the number of protons PLUS the number of neutrons.
The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.
atomic mass number - protons = number or neutrons
The number of protons
Depends on the atom. The atomic number will give you the number of protons. The atomic weight will give you approximately the number of protons and neutrons combined.
The pair below that describes isotopes of the same element is B, an atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons-an atom with 6 protons. It is not A, an atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons- an atom with 8 protons and 6 neutrons. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, which is the atomic number of the element.
Atomic mass is the total of the number of protons PLUS the number of neutrons.
Mass number!:)
protons and neutrons in an atom. It is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
The mass number is the sum of protons + neutrons.
20. the mass of an atom is determined by the sum of the number of neutrons and protons the atom has.
The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.
The number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
Mass number = Protons+Neutrons
atomic mass number - protons = number or neutrons
The number of protons
The mass number of an atom is the sum of the protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Therefore, for an atom of calcium with 20 protons and 20 neutrons, the mass number would be 40.
