Can you use the mass number of an element to determine the number of electrons in an atom?

No, the mass number of an element is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. To determine the number of electrons, you would need to know the atomic number of the element, which is equal to the number of protons. Electrons in a neutral atom equal the number of protons.


What is the number of protons neutrons and electrons of carbon 12?

Carbon-12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. The number of protons determines the element (carbon), the number of neutrons plus protons gives the mass number (12), and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.


What information can you gather knowing the atomic number and mass of an element?

If you know the atomic no. and atomic mass, then the no. of electrons, no. of protons and no. of neutrons can also be determined. Atomic No.=No. of electrons = No. of protons. No. of neutrons=Atomic mass-Atomic no. Also, by no. of electrons you can determine its valency and the no. of valence electrons.


How many protons neutrons and electrons are in the element cobalt?

There are 21 electrons and protons in the element Cobalt, and there are 58.933195 neutrons or 36.933195. If your working on a project and your in elementary or middle school you are very smart.Well Done. -Emily (5th Grader)


What is the identity of an element with 5 protons 7 neutrons and 5 electrons?

Five protons makes this the element boron. The number of protons is the atomic number, and determines the identity of an element. This example would be the boron-12 isotope because it contains 5 protons and 7 neutrons.

How many protons neutrons and electrons does si-28 have?

A silicon-28 atom has 14 protons, 14 neutrons, and 14 electrons. The number of protons determines the element (silicon in this case), the sum of protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass of the isotope (28 in this case), and the number of electrons balances the charge to make the atom electrically neutral.


Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?

Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.
