atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number
The electron has no atomic mass number. The mass of an electron is roughly 1/1800 of the mass of a proton or neutron.
Atoms have equal numbers of protons and electrons.
To calculate the number of protons in an atom, use the atomic number (Z), which represents the number of protons. The number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number (A = Z + N). Electrons are the same as the number of protons in a neutral atom.
The atomic number correlates to the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. The atomic number also dictates the number of electrons that orbit the nucleus if the atom in neutral. Finally the atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons found in the nucleus. The atomic number equals the number of protons (p+) or electron (e-).
atomic number = number of proton in an element number of proton = number of electron mass number = number of proton + number of neutron therefore... atomic number = mass number - number of neutrons

6 which is Carbon
atomic number = number of proton in an element number of proton = number of electron mass number = number of proton + number of neutron therefore... atomic number = mass number - number of neutrons
they work because in every atom there is a neutron, electron and proton. the electron will tell you what the atomic number is and the neutrons and protons will tell you what element it is.
Protons = Atomic Number Electrons = Atomic Number Neutrons = Atomic Mass - Atomic Number *A note on Atomic Mass* Atomic Mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Every time you remove or add a Proton/Electron or a Neutron, you change the mass by one. *A note on Protons and Electrons* The number of Protons and Electrons in an atom is always the same. Whenever you talk about adding/removing a proton or an electron, you are by default adding/removing one of the other as well.
You calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom by : atomic mass - atomic number = neutron number. :) hope this helps
The emission of a Beta particle has the effect of decaying a neutron into a proton and an electron. This increases the atomic number and the electron is ejected energetically. The number of neutrons are decreased by one and the number of protons increase by one, changing the atom to a different element.
