You can "figure out" by checking the Periodic Table :D
Atomic mass is the number of protons + the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. On the periodic table, the average atomic mass of an element will the be number at the bottom of each box.
by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. the atomic number is the one under the element's symbol and the mass number is the one above the element's symbol.
If you have both the mass number and atomic number you can figure it out, since the atomic number is the number of protons. Say the mass number is 13 and the atomic number is 8. 13-8 is 5, so you would have 5 neutrons.
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom; each element has its own distinct number. The atomic mass is the mass of the nucleus of the atom: protons and neutrons. One proton is equivalent to one unit of mass, as is a neutron. You can figure out the number of neutrons in an atom by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass; the difference is the number of neutrons.
A-N=Z Mass number - Number of neutrons= Atomic number mass number = 80, number of neutrons = 41; 80-41=39 Atomic number for the element with mass number 80 and 41 neutrons; is 39.
Mass number will help you. Mass number is the total of neutrons and protons.
Number of neutrons + Number of protons

The mass.If you also know the element number you can figure out the number of neutrons (provided its an isotopic mass rather than an average mass).
Atomic mass is the number of protons + the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. On the periodic table, the average atomic mass of an element will the be number at the bottom of each box.
by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. the atomic number is the one under the element's symbol and the mass number is the one above the element's symbol.
Take the Atomic Mass and round it to the nearest whole number. Then subtract this number and the atomic number of that element.
The atomic number IS the number of protons. if you are given the mass number, then subtract the number of protons from it.
The mass number is the total number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus. The atomic number is the total number of protons in the nucleus. So subtract the atomic number from the mass number and that will give you the total number of neutrons in the nucleus.
The mass number is the total number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus. The atomic number is the total number of protons in the nucleus. So subtract the atomic number from the mass number and that will give you the total number of neutrons in the nucleus.
The atomic mass (rounded to the nearest whole number) is the number of nucleons - i.e. protons+neutrons. The atomic number is just the number of protons. So the difference between the two (mass minus number) tells you the number of neutrons.
Number of protons= Atomic number Number of neutrons= Mass number-Atomic number Number of electrons=Number of protons (If there is no charge on the atom)
