Mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons.
because the nucleus consists of protons and neutrons only, the sum of protons and neutrons is the total number of ALL the nucleons.
note the term "ALL" here..
this is the reason why mass number is denoted as "A".

What is the mass number of an atom of sulfur with 16 protons 17 neutrons and 16 electrons?
Number of nucleons = number of protons + neutrons = 16 + 17 = 33 The mass number is thus 33 and the atom is denoted sulfur-33 or 33S.
In order to calculate the number of neutrons you must subtract the from the?
Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number
The mass number of an element is the number of?
Mass number is the atomic mass of a particular isotope (apex chem 5.3)
Can you use the mass number of an element to determine the number of electrons in an atom?
Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons Number of electrons = number of protons = mass number of an isotope - number of neutrons
What is the mass number of deterium?
The mass number of deuterium is 2
Atomic mass and mass number?
Atomic mass is the number of protons present in the nucleus or number of electrons revolving around the nucleus in an atom .It is denoted by Z. Mass number is the sum of number of protons and neutrons present in a nucleus in an atom .It is denoted by A.
Why complex no is denoted by z?
There are no real reason why it is denoted by z, but that the real number axis is denoted by x, imaginary number is denoted by y, the real part of a complex number is denoted by a, the imaginary part of a complex number is denoted by b, so there is z left.
Why is irrational number denoted with t?
It is not denoted with a t.
What is the mass number of an atom of sulfur with 16 protons 17 neutrons and 16 electrons?
Number of nucleons = number of protons + neutrons = 16 + 17 = 33 The mass number is thus 33 and the atom is denoted sulfur-33 or 33S.
What is the number of an electron?
An electron has a mass of 9.109 X 10-31 kg, approximately 1⁄1840 the mass of a proton. However, the term mass number doesn't apply to electrons, it applies to atomic nuclei. The mass number of a nuclear isotope is the total number of protons and neutrons, together known as nucleons, of the isotope, and is denoted by (A).
Integers are denoted by an?
Whole number
Basic unit to measure mass?
The SI unit for mass is the kilogram, denoted as kg.
What is the mass number of an electron?
An electron has a mass of 9.109 X 10-31 kg, approximately 1⁄1840 the mass of a proton. However, the term mass number doesn't apply to electrons, it applies to atomic nuclei. The mass number of a nuclear isotope is the total number of protons and neutrons, together known as nucleons, of the isotope, and is denoted by (A).
How real number is denoted?
By the letter R.
How is velocity mass and momentum related?
Momentum, denoted by the letter p, is equal to the product of a system's mass and velocity.
The number of protons in a nucleus of an atom constitutes the?
The number of protons in a nucleus of an atom constitutes the proton number or atomic number of that element and is denoted as Z. For example, helium has atomic mass of 4 and atomic number of 2, thereby having two protons.
What measurements do we to state the mass of something?
the International Standard (denoted "SI" from the French Standard Internationale) unit of measure for Mass is the kilogram (kg)
