the Atomic Mass of carbon 13 is 13 lt has six protons how many neutrons does this isotope
Approximately 9+11=20amu. (electron's mass is negligible)
It has 8 protons. The atomic number of an atom = the number of protons. The mass number is not needed in this problem. The mass number is the number of protons + number of neutrons.
40, the sum of the protons and neutrons.
the mass number is number of protons in an atom, plus the number of neutrons.
If you add the number of protons to the number of neutrons in an atom, you have calculated that atom's atomic mass.
protons and neutrons
Mass of an atom = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
Protons and neutrons each have an atomic mass of 1 So, 38-15=23 Neutrons
The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.
6 protons and 6 neutrons.
The number of protons
Mass number = Protons+Neutrons
28. Atomic mass - Atomic # (same as the number of protons) = number of neutrons
The major contribution to the mass of an atom is from protons and neutrons; electrons have a known but negligible mass.
Mass number!:)
This atom has three neutrons. The atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons. All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons (lithium has three), so the neutrons have to account for the rest of the mass. 6 (the mass number)-3 (the number of protons in a lithium atom)=3. So this atom must have three neutrons.
20. the mass of an atom is determined by the sum of the number of neutrons and protons the atom has.
Physics has not managed to discover a particle that accounts for mass
