If an atom of an element has a mass number of 31 and 16 neutrons in its nucleus what is the atomic number of the element?
12. the atomic number of an element is the number of protons in it's nucleus. The mass number is the number of protons+neutrons. Therefore the element has (32-20)12 protons.
What is the name mass number and atomic number of an element with 16 protons and 16 neutrons?
Well, if an atom has 16 protons, then it is Sulfur, which is a non metal. If it had 16 neutrons, then it would be another isotope of sulfur, which would make it Sulfur-32. Then, unless it has a charge, there would also be 16 electrons.
Oxygen has eight protons eight neutrons and eight electrons what is the atomic mass?
For finding the atomic mass of any element, we have to get sum of number of protons & number of neutrons. Atomic Mass (A) : p+n. * p = no. of protons. * n = no. of neutrons. Therefore, atomic mass of oxygen is 15.
What is the mass number for O?
oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 8.
What element has atomic mass of 16 and 8 neutrons?
If you had looked in the periodic table, you would have seen that the element Oxygen has an atomic mass of 16 (or more precisely 15.9994) and if you were to take that atomic mass and subtract the atomic number from it (i.e. 8) you would get a difference of 8 which is the number of neutrons it contains. In short, oxygen is that element.

What is the atomic number of an element that has 16 protons?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons. So the atomic number is 16.
An explination of what mass number and atomic number are?
The atomic number refers to the number of protons in the element. And since the number of protons = number of electrons, the atomic number is also the number of electrons in the element. The mass number of an element refers to the number of neutrons and protons in the element. &since electrons are negligible in mass, the number of neutrons can be found out by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. Take for example, oxygen. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and a mass number of 16. Hence, from the atomic number it can be derived that it has: 8 electrons 8 protons While from the mass number, it can be derive that it has: 16-8 = 8 neutrons
Why is 16 oxygen mass number?
Oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 16.
What element has 16 protons and 15 neutrons?
The element is sulfur and the isotope is 16S31
What is the mass number for O?
oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 8.
What element has atomic mass of 16 and 8 neutrons?
If you had looked in the periodic table, you would have seen that the element Oxygen has an atomic mass of 16 (or more precisely 15.9994) and if you were to take that atomic mass and subtract the atomic number from it (i.e. 8) you would get a difference of 8 which is the number of neutrons it contains. In short, oxygen is that element.
Oxygen 16 protons?
No. Oxygen has 8 protons. The element with 16 protons is sulfur. Oxygen-16 is the most common isotope of oxygen. The 16 refers to its atomic weight, which is the result of there being 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
What is mass number of oxgen?
Oxygen is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 16.
What is the Atomic mass is the number of?
The mass number is the sum of neutrons and protons in the atomic nucleus and is different for each isotope of any element. For example the isotope oxygen-16 has the mass number 16.
