The number of neutrons in the nucleus is not the answer its wrong trust me
Mass number = neutrons + protons. Atomic number = protons. Trust yourself to work out the difference.
The mass number of an element is the total number of protons (p) and neutrons (n). Therefore mass number minus the atomic number yields the number of n.
number of neutrons.
The number of neutrons. APEXXX :)
An atom contains Protons, Neutrons and Electrons the atomic number is the protons and neutrons combined, the number of protons in the atom is equal to the total number of electrons in the atom which are aranged in the outer shells at 2,8,8,8,8 and so on to find the totoal number of protons in the neucleus of the atom you take the atomic mass and minus the atomic number from it. so He or Helium is 4.0026 atomic mass and 2 for atomic number and so has 2 protons and so in turn has 2 electrons.
Okay, here is a simple way to find the atomic number, Count the protons or if you want a more techical way. Take the total mass of the nucleus minus the mass of all the neutrons then divide the rest of the mass by the mass of one proton.
Atomic mass number of the atom. The best way to remember it is: the majority of the mass of an atom is made up of the protons and neutrons (the electrons are very light!), therefore the atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons.
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, while the atomic mass is the total mass of the nucleus (both protons and neutrons)
The number of Neutrons and Protons in the nucleus.So it would be 26 Protons and 30 Neutrons so...26+30=56<so that is the mass number.
Atomic mass minus the atomic number.
If you subtract the mass number by the atomic number you get the number of neutrons.
atomic mass number - protons = number or neutrons
Atomic mass unit is the number on the bottom of the Chemical. However, the atomic mass is the number on the top of the chemical minus the number on the bottom. b.t.w The no. of neutrons = top no. minus bottom no.
By subtracting the mass number and the atomic number, the number of neutrons can be calculated.
false
You subtract the atomic number from the mass number.
Find out how many protons (atomic number) and what the mass number of a particular element is. Then subtract the number of protons from the rounded mass number to get the number of neutrons in a particular atom.
The number of neutrons can be calculated if the atomic number and mass number of an element is known. The number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number.
atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number
The number of protons, also called the atomic number.
Atomic Mass minus atomic number
