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.


How are electrons determined?

By subtracting the atomic mass and atomic number


The atomic mass is determined by?

atomic mass is determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons.this can be seen in the periodic table as the average atomic mass below the name of the element


What two pieces of information can be determined from the atomic mass?

The number of protons and neutrons in the atom can be determined from the atomic mass. The atomic mass represents the average mass of the isotopes of that element in atomic mass units.


How were the atomic number and the atomic masses of the elements determined?

Atomic masses are determined by mass spectrometry. The atomic number is identic with the number of protons in the atom - depends on position in the periodic table.


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.


Is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in a atom?

Atomic mass.


How can an atoms number of neutrons be determined?

Mass number-Atomic Number= Number of neutrons


Which mass number or atomic number determine what element an atom is?

The identity of the element is determined solely by the atomic number, which is the number of protons.


What determines the atomic number of a substance?

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 in the nucleus of an atom can be calculated by what?

The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom can be calculated by subtracting the number of protons (atomic number) from the atomic mass of the atom. Atomic mass - Atomic number = Number of neutrons.


The atomic mass is determined by the weight of?

The number of protons, neutrons and electrons.
