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.


How do you determine the numbers of the three types of particles in each atom?

In an atom, no. of protons = no. of electrons=atomic no. no. of neutrons=atomic mass-atomic no.


What are necleons?

Nucleons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. They include protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged particles, while neutrons have no charge. Together, they determine the mass and stability of an atom.

Which particles determine the mass of an atom?

The atomic mass unit is defined to be 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Atomic masses can determined by weighing molar amount of an isotope. Absolute masses (in kg) are determined by measuring the amount that charged atoms are deflected by magnets, since if you know the charge you can calculate mass from the amount of deflection.

What subatomic particle or particles contributes the most to the mass of the atom?

These particles are protons and neutrons.


What particle or particles carry virtually all the mass (weight) of any atom?

Virtually all of the mass of an atom is carried by the proton and the neutron. The electron has very, very little mass relative to these two particles.
