this is because the atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, and this never changes. However, the recorded Atomic Mass is a weighted average of all of the isotopes of the atom, because atomic mass is the number protons plus the number of neutrons, and the number of neutrons in an atom differs, causing different atomic masses.
There is no element with the atomic number of 58.69. The atomic number is always a whole number representing the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. It can't have decimals.
Atomic numbers represent the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, which are always whole numbers because protons are indivisible particles. Atomic numbers cannot be fractions or decimal numbers because they refer to a count of discrete, whole particles.
Why are atomic masses of elements not generally whole numbers? The atomic masses listed on the periodic table are a weighted AVERAGE of an element'sisotopes. ... An element's atomic number is the number of protons in its nucleus. Number of protons specifies atom type.
The atomic number is derived from how many protons are present in the nucleus of an atom. Becaue you cannot have a fraction of a proton present in an atom, atomic numbers must be non negative integers.
There are two numbers that are included in every element's block on every periodic table. The whole number, which can range from 1 - 118 is the atomic number of that element. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of that element. The second number is the atomic weight and is never a whole number, except for the artificially prepared elements, and then it is a whole number written inside parentheses.There may be other numbers listed as well, depending on the periodic table. All periodic tables have a key as to what everything inside each block represents.
Whole numbers contain no fractional part as do decimals
No because whole numbers are integers that do not have decimals or fractions attached to them.
Whole numbers are positive numbers and there are no fractions or decimals.
Yes, when they are decimals, it is not considered a whole number.
No element has this atomic number. All atomic numbers are whole numbers.
Decimals can't be whole numbers.
Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. A whole number is a number with no decimals.
Numbers with decimals can't be whole numbers.
rounding whole numbers and decimals
no. whole numbers are 1,2,3,4 etc., not decimals
No because whole numbers or integers do not have decimals or fractions
Yes,0,1,2,3..... Are whole numbers
