First of all, the charge on most atoms is zero. A charged atom is called an ion, and is due to the atom gaining or losing electrons. I assume that you are referring to the charge and mass on the nucleus.
Every proton contributes charge and mass. Every neutron contributes only mass. Thus, there is a positive correlation between the two, but due to the fact that different atoms have diffirent isotopes, it is impossible to say, based on mass, what the charge is, or visa versa.
For example, most hydrogen nuclei are just single protons. Deuterium has a proton and neutron for a nucleus, and tritium has a proton and 2 neutrons. All of these nuclei have diffirent masses, but same charge.

What and what make up the atomic mass?
The atomic mass of an element is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge, contributing to the overall mass of the atom. The number of electrons, which have a negligible mass, is not included in the atomic mass.
Why is the approximated atomic mass of an atom with 16 neutrons 15 protons and 15 electrons 31 Daltons?
The atomic mass is determined by the contents of the [atomic] nucleus - the sum of the protons and neutrons; in this case the atomic mass {also called the atomic weight} is 31. A dalton is the mass of a hydrogen atom, or ion: that is, a proton.
Which subatomic particles of an atom are responsible for atomic mass?
Protons and neutrons are responsible for the atomic mass of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. The combined mass of protons and neutrons makes up the majority of the mass of an atom.
What contributes to an atom's atomic number and to its mass number?
An atom's atomic number is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus, which are positively charged. The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, as neutrons contribute to the atom's mass but not its charge.
Does an atom of aluminum and an atom of gallium have the same atomic mass?
No, an atom of aluminum and an atom of gallium do not have the same atomic mass. Aluminum has an atomic mass of approximately 26.98 atomic mass units, while gallium has an atomic mass of approximately 69.72 atomic mass units.
What and what make up the atomic mass?

Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge, contributing to the overall mass of the atom. The number of electrons, which have a negligible mass, is not included in the atomic mass.
An atom has 14 neutrons and an atomic mass of 26 What will be the charge of the atom when it forms an ion?
+ or - 4
What is the nuclear charge of an atom with an atomic mass of 35amu and atomic number of 17?
The mass number of an isotope of an element is defined as the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of each atom of the isotope. The atomic number is defined as the number of protons only in the nucleus. Therefore, an atom with an atomic number. Since neutrons have no electric charge, the nuclear charge of the specified atom is 17 amu.
What is the nuclear charge of an atom with mass of 23 and an atomic number of 11?
The atomic number of 11 means there are 11 protons in the nucleus, giving the atom a nuclear charge of +11. The atom in question is a Sodium atom.

How do you find the charge in atomic number and mass?
You can't. To find the mass number, you need to know how many neutrons are in the nucleus (mass number = # of protons + # of neutrons). The atomic number is equal to the number of protons, and the charge tells you the number of electrons indirectly (net charge of atom = # of protons – # of electrons). Neither of these things tells you anything about the number of neutrons, which is what you need.See the Related Questions to the left for more information.
What is a particle in an atom with a neutral charge?
A particle in an atom with a neutral charge is a neutron. Neutrons have no electrical charge and are located in the atomic nucleus along with protons. They contribute to the mass of the atom but do not affect its overall charge.
What particle makes up an atoms atomic mass?
Protons and neutrons make up an atom's atomic mass. Protons have a positive charge and are found in the nucleus along with neutrons, which have no charge. Electrons, which have a negative charge, contribute very little to the atomic mass of an atom.
How do you determine the atom the atomic mass of an atom?
Proton + Nuetron = Atomic Mass
