What does subatomic particles contribute to the value of atomic mass and atomic number?

protons is the same number as the atomic number always and protons plus the average number of neutrons makes up the atomic mass


How do you use atomic number and average atomic mass to calculate the number of each of the three subatomic particles?

The atomic number is the amount of protons which will equal the amount of electrons. The average atomic mass minus the number of protons will equal the amount of neutrons.


How do you calculate subatomic particles in isotopes?

To calculate the number of subatomic particles in isotopes, you need to know the atomic number (number of protons) and mass number (sum of protons and neutrons) of the isotope. Subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find the number of neutrons. The number of electrons will be equal to the number of protons if the atom is neutral.


What is the number of each subatomic particle for californium?

Californium has 98 protons and electrons. 98 is the atomic number of californium. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number of the element


Which subatomic particles have mass and re included in the calculation of the atomic mass number?

Protons and neutrons are the subatomic particles that have mass and are included in the calculation of the atomic mass number. Electrons have very low mass compared to protons and neutrons and are usually not included in the atomic mass calculation as they contribute very little to the overall mass of an atom.


How do you find the atomic numbersof an subatomic particles?

The atomic number of a subatomic particle is determined by the number of protons it has. Protons have a positive charge and are located in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons in an atom's nucleus is equivalent to its atomic number.


Which subatomic particle has a charge of 0 and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit?

A neutron is the subatomic particle with a charge of 0 and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit.
