is the Atomic Mass
What else can I help you with?
What is the mass number minus the atomic number called?
Nucleon Number (total number of protons and neutrons)
Are the number of neutrons equal to the atomic number minus the atomic mass?
false
Phosphorus has an atomic mass of 31 and an atomic number of 15 the number of neutrons must be?
Mass number = no. of protons + neutrons Atomic number = no. of protonsThus (mass number - atomic number) gives you no. of neutrons.Therefore for phosphorus, the number of neutrons would be 16.
If atomic mass of 16 and atomic number of 8 this means the number of neutrons in this type of oxygen is?
The number of neutrons in an atom can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass. In this case, an atomic mass of 16 and atomic number of 8 for oxygen means there are 8 neutrons (16 - 8 = 8).
How is the atomic mass of an element used to determine the number of nuetrons in its atom?
Different isotopes of the same element have different numbers of neutrons but the same number of protons. The sum of the protons and neutrons is called the mass number. If you know the mass number and the number of protons (which is the atomic number), then you simply subtract the protons (or atomic number) from the mass number and the result is the number of neutrons. Example: Carbon-14 has a mass number of 14. Carbon's atomic number (and number of protons) is 6. So, 14 - 6 = 8 neutrons.
What is the mass number minus the atomic number called?
Nucleon Number (total number of protons and neutrons)
What is the number of protons and neutrons called?
The number protons in an atom is called the atomic number (it is this number that tells us which element the atom is). The number of neutrons in an atom can change, but the term for the amount of neutrons is called an isotope. The number of protons and neutrons added together is called the atomic mass.
What is the atomic mass minus the number of neutrons?
The number of protons, also called the atomic number.
The number of protons and neutrons is called?
The atomic mass
The combined number of protons and neutrons?
The combined number of protons and neutrons is known as the mass number of an atom. It can be used to calculate the atomic mass by adding the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
An atom with more or less neutrons is called a?
atomic number
Are the number of neutrons equal to the atomic number minus the atomic mass?
false
What does mass do?
The Atomic Mass is equal to the number of protons plus neutrons. So if you know the atomic number then you can find out the number of neutrons Atomic # is the amount of Protons or Electrons Atomic Mass- Number of protons plus neutrons Atomic Mass-Atomic Number = Amount of neutrons
Phosphorus has an atomic mass of 31 and an atomic number of 15 the number of neutrons must be?
Mass number = no. of protons + neutrons Atomic number = no. of protonsThus (mass number - atomic number) gives you no. of neutrons.Therefore for phosphorus, the number of neutrons would be 16.
What does an elements atomic number represent-?
The number of protons (or electrons) an atom has. To find out how many neutrons there are take the atomic number and subtract it from the Atomic Mass... (atomic mass)-(atomic number)= neutrons atomic number= #of protons (or #of electrons)
If atomic mass of 16 and atomic number of 8 this means the number of neutrons in this type of oxygen is?
The number of neutrons in an atom can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass. In this case, an atomic mass of 16 and atomic number of 8 for oxygen means there are 8 neutrons (16 - 8 = 8).
