What is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons?
If you add the number of protons to the number of neutrons in an atom, you have calculated that atom's atomic mass.
If an atom has an atomic number of 8 and a mass of 18 how many protrons are in the atom?
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.
What identify the number of protons neutrons and electrons in the atom.?
The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which identifies the element. Neutrons are found by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. For a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
How can atomic number be used to find the numbers of protons electrons and nuetron's?
The atomic number is the number of protons and therefore, assuming the atom is neutral, the number of electrons. You would need to additionally know the atomic mass to figure out the number of neutrons.
What is mass number equal to?
The mass number of an atom is defined as the total number of protons and neutron (collectively called "nucleons") in the atomic nucleus. For example, a helium atom with 2 protons and 2 neutrons would have a mass number of 4.
What is atomic mass of an atom equal to?
The atomic mass of an element is equal to the number of protons.
What best describes the number of neutrons in an atom?
It is equal to the difference between atomic number and Atomic Mass number. A+
Why doest the atomic number equal the atomic mass?
atomic mass is contributed mainly by protons and neutrons. it is the mass of an atom. atomic number on the other hand is contributed by protons and is equal to the number of protons in the atom
Is it true that The atomic mass is equal to the atomic number?
No, the atomic mass is not equal to the atomic number. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, while the atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The atomic mass can differ from the atomic number, especially due to the presence of neutrons.
What do atomic number and atomic mass mean?
The atomic number is equal to either the number of electrons or the protons of a particular atom. The atomic mass in a.m.u. is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom.
What number is the atomic mass equal to?
The atomic mass of an element is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. It is not directly related to the atomic number, which represents the number of protons in an atom.
What is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons?
If you add the number of protons to the number of neutrons in an atom, you have calculated that atom's atomic mass.
What are the particles that make a atom including the atomic number and mass number?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom (which equal the number of electrons present) The atomic mass is the number of protons+neutrons in an atom
What atomic mass is equal to the atom on the periodic table?
number of protons = atomic mass
The atomic mass of an atom is equal to the sum of numbers of what?
protons + electrons= atomic mass NUMBER, not the atomic mass.
Is the atomic number of an atom equal to its number of protons and the atomic mass is equal to its number of neutron Protons?
yes
What equals the number of neutrons plus the number of protons in an atom?
The sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom is known as the atomic mass. It is equivalent to the mass number of the atom, which represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
