How do you know the number of neutrons an atom has?

You can find the number of neutrons in an atom by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass number (rounded atomic weight). The atomic mass number represents the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.


If a neutral atom has a mass of 15 amu and an atomic number of 7 whats the number of protons neutrons and electrons in the atom?

The atomic number of 7 indicates the number of protons, which is 7. Since the atom is neutral, the number of protons also equals the number of electrons, so there are 7 electrons. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass number: 15 (mass number) - 7 (atomic number) = 8 neutrons.


In order to calculate the number of neutrons you must subtract the from the?

In order to calculate the number of neutrons, you subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass (rounded to the nearest whole number). Neutrons are important for stabilizing the atomic nucleus alongside protons.


How many protons are there in an atom the element lithium if it has an atomic number of 3?

Lithium has 3 protons. The atomic number and the number of protons will be the same.


Is the atomic number of an atom equal to the number of protons or neutrons or electrons in the nucleus?

The atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. It determines the element's identity and position on the periodic table. Electrons and neutrons can vary in number to form different isotopes of the element.

Mass number - atomic number equals?

Mass number minus the atomic number equals the number of neutrons. Mass number is the number of particles in an atom that have significant mass. Electrons are assigned a value of 0 since the mass is so much smaller than protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are similar in mass and are assigned mass number of 1. The formula for calculating atomic mass atomic mass = # protons + # neutrons.


What equals atomic mass minus protons?

Roughly, the number of neutrons. Note that the atomic mass is only approximately equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons - there is a relatively small discrepancy, due to the binding energy.


The sum of the protons and neutrons in an atom equals the .?

atomic number


How many protons and neutrons are there in the nucleus of an atom that has an atomic number of 84 and a mass number of 210?

84 protons, the same as the atomic number, and (210 - 84) or 126 neutrons. The numbers of protons and neutrons together equals the mass number.


WHAT Equals the sum of the number of neutrons and protons in an isotope?

The atomic mass equals neutrons and protons. This is true in non isotopes as well.


What is hydrgens atomic number?

Hydrogens atomic number is #1.


How do the mass number and the atomic number of an element different?

Atomic number equals the number of protons, the (atomic) mass number equals the sum of (the number of) protons and neutrons of the same element.The answer is: they're differing in the number of neutrons(Mathematically: Where A = p and M = p + n, the difference in A and M is n)


The combined number of protons and neutrons?

The combined number of protons and neutrons is known as the mass number of an atom. It can be used to calculate the atomic mass by adding the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.


Atomic mass equals the number of what?

The atomic mass NUMBER equals the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. DO NOT confuse this with the mass of an atom.


What does the atomic mass equals the number of?

An isotope's mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in each atomic nucleus of the isotope.
