atomic number = number of proton in an element
number of proton = number of electron
mass number = number of proton + number of neutron
therefore...
atomic number = mass number - number of neutrons

By subtracting the mass number and the atomic number, the number of neutrons can be calculated.
No, each element has a unique atomic formula based on the number of protons in its nucleus, which is called the atomic number. This atomic formula is represented by the element's chemical symbol.
The chemical formula for helium is He. It is a noble gas with an atomic number of 2.
To find the number of neutrons in an atom, subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass (sum of protons and neutrons). The formula is: Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number
The atomic number refers to the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. Since CH3 is a molecular formula representing a compound composed of carbon and hydrogen, it does not have an atomic number.
