The Atomic Mass is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons found in each atom of that element (electrons do not contribute). They are sometimes seen on periodic tables to have a decimal in the atomic number, this is for elements with more than one common isotope (an isotope of an element is the same number of protons but with a different number of neutrons), in which case an average of the common isotopes can be used.

The two subatomic particles you add together to get the mass number of an atom are protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge, but together they contribute to the mass of an atom.


What are the subatomic particles with no mass called?

Subatomic particles with no mass are called neutrinos. Neutrinos are elementary particles that have extremely small, non-zero masses, but they are considered nearly massless in many calculations due to their very small mass values.


What are the features of the subatomic particles?

Subatomic particles have mass, dimensions, spin, sometimes have an electrical charge.


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.


What two subatomic particles are added together to determine the mass number?

The two subatomic particles added together to determine the mass number of an atom are protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge, but both contribute to the mass of an atom.
