Atomic Mass is the number of protons and neutrons that make up an atom.

The neutron number is only the number of neutrons present in the atom. This can be found by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass.

What kind of radiation increases the atomic number of the donating atom by one Alpha Beta Gamma or Neutron?

Neutron radiation increases the atomic number of the donating atom by one. This occurs when a neutron is absorbed by an atom, causing it to become unstable and undergo beta decay, which results in an increase in atomic number.


How would adding a neutron to an atom affect its atomic number?

Atomic number = Number of protons. So addition of neutron has no affect on the atomic number.Isotopes of the same element are formed by the change in neutrons.


An atom has an atomic mass of 101g and has 57 neutrons what is the atomic number?

If an atom has an atomic mass of 101g and 57 neutrons, then:Atomic Mass = (number of protions) + (number of neutrons) 101 = (X) + (57) or.... (101) - (57) = x 101-57=44 the element that has 44 as its atomic number would be RutheniumAs we know mass of atom is primaril constituted by the neutrons and protons,while the mass of electron is neglegible.Taking mass of proton equal to mass of neutron and both having a unit mass.we can say that mass of an atom is equal to the number of protons and neutrons multiplied with the mass of i proton/neutron.we are given mass of lithium =7=>(no. of neutron + no. of protons)*(mass of 1 proton/neutron)=7=>no. of neutrons + no. of protons *(1)=7=>no. of neutrons=7-no. of protons=>no. of neutrons=7-3 (atomic no=no. of protons)=>no. of neutrons=4


How do you determine the number of neutron?

Protons = Atomic Number Electrons = Atomic Number Neutrons = Atomic Mass - Atomic Number *A note on Atomic Mass* Atomic Mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Every time you remove or add a Proton/Electron or a Neutron, you change the mass by one. *A note on Protons and Electrons* The number of Protons and Electrons in an atom is always the same. Whenever you talk about adding/removing a proton or an electron, you are by default adding/removing one of the other as well.


Can you identify an atom without knowing number of neutrons in it?

Yes, and in order to find the Number of Neutrons, subtract Atomic Mass from Number Of Protons, the result will be the Number of Neutrons for that atom *No. Of Neutron=Atomic Mass - Number Of Protons

How do you calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom?

You calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom by : atomic mass - atomic number = neutron number. :) hope this helps


What is another term for neutron number?

In a neutral atom the protons and neutrons are equal; protons are determined by the element's atomic number. Therefore, the "neutron number" can refer to the atomic number- in a neutral atom only.


How do you determine the number of neutron's in an atom of a given element?

Atomic Mass minus atomic number. This is rather simplified but the atomic mass of an element is the total of all the protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom. Each proton and neutron has an atomic mass of approximately 1 AMU (atomic mass units) while an electron has an atomic mass of about 0.0005 AMU. So, you don't need to worry about the electrons. The atomic number of an element is simply the number of protons in the atom. So, atomic mass (number of protons and neutrons) minus atomic number (number of protons) equals number of neutrons in an atom.


Is the atomic number of an atom equal to its number of protons and the atomic mass is equal to its number of neutron Protons?

yes

The chemical properties of an atom are determined by its atomic?

The chemical properties of an atom are determined by its atomic number, which corresponds to the number of protons in the atom's nucleus. The number of protons influences the atom's interactions with other atoms and its ability to form chemical bonds.


How many protons and neutron and electrons are in the atom?

Carbon does not have an atomic number of 14.


How do you figure the number of neutron's in an atom?

Take the Atomic Mass and round it to the nearest whole number. Then subtract this number and the atomic number of that element.


How do you calculate nutrons?

neutron can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number of the particular atom from its mass number.
