What is counted in an atom to determine mass number?
The mass number of an atom is determined by counting the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Electrons, which are much lighter than protons and neutrons, are not included in the mass number calculation.
Is mass number the combining capacity of an element?
No, mass number is the number of neutrons and protons that exist within the nucleus of the atom for a particular element. It is based on the idea that most of the mass of an atom derives from the nucleus.
The atomic number is determined by?
The atomic mass is the can be determined by the number of protons in an atom. Remember that a proton has an atomic mas number of 1 AMU (atomic mass unit). (The total mass of an atom is the protons, neutrons and electrons combined.)
What is the mass number for Sulfur?
Sulphur is a non metallic element. Mass number of it is 32.
Can the mass number of an element be used to determine the number of electrons in an atom?
No, the mass number of an element represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, but it does not provide information about the number of electrons. The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus.
What is the partice that determines the mass of an atom?
The atomic mass is mainly determined by the total number of protons AND neutrons.
The volume of an atom is determined by the size of?
By the size of the atom and its mass
What particles are used to determined the mass of an atom?
Mass of an atom = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
How can an atom's protons be determined?
By the atomic mass
Atomic mass is determined by the number of protons plus the number of?
neutrons in an atom's nucleus. It is measured in atomic mass units (amu) and provides the total mass of an atom. The atomic mass is approximately equal to the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, as the mass of electrons is negligible.
Which of the following particles is used to determine the mass of an atom?
Mass of an atom is determined by the no. of protons+ no. of neutrons in the atom.
What determine the atom mass?
Essentially an atom's mass is determined by its number of protons and neutrons, as mass of electrons is so minuscule relative the nucleus.
Is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in a atom?
Atomic mass.
What is determined the mass of an atom?
The mass of an atom is determined by the sum of the masses of its protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus and contribute most of the mass, while the electrons, which have much less mass, orbit the nucleus. The mass of an atom is typically measured in atomic mass units (amu).
What is the collective mass of 16 microcoulombs and 100000000000000 electrons?
The mass of electrons is negligible compared to the mass of protons and neutrons in an atom. Therefore, the collective mass of 16 microcoulombs and 100000000000000 electrons would be determined mainly by the mass of the protons and neutrons in the atoms involved in the charge.
How is the atomic mass determined?
Atomic Mass is the number of protons in an atom plus the number of neutrons in the same atom.
How do you calculate atom with a given mass?
The atomic weight of chemical elements is determined by mass spectrometry.
