Which particles are found in the nucleus of the atom?
They're called nucleons. The two types of nucleons are protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged nucleons and determine, in an atom, what element that atom is. Neutrons have no charge and just supposedly add mass to an atom.
How many neutrons are in one atom?
The number of neutrons depends on the atom. In general, mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons.
How do you determine the number of protons in an atom of aluminum27?
There are 13 protons in an atom of aluminum, regardless of the isotope. If it didn't have 13 protons, it wouldn't be aluminum, it would be something else. There are 14 neutrons in an atom of aluminum 27, its only stable isotope.See the Related Questions for how to count the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in any atom of any element.
What is the number of neutrons in an atom affects the atomic what?
The number of neutrons in an atom can affect the atomic mass of an atom.
Neutrons add only to an atom?
Neutrons are neutral particles, so they donâ??t change the charge of an atom. They do however, change the atomic mass.
What does the number of neutrons determine?
they determine the atomic mass of the atom
What determine the mass and an atom?
Protons, neutrons and electrons
What do we do to determine the number of neutrons in a atom?
atomic number
What is counted in an atom to determine mass number?
NEUTRONS AND PROTONS are counted in an atom to determine it's mass number.
Which of the following particles is used to determine the mass of an atom?
Mass of an atom is determined by the no. of protons+ no. of neutrons in the atom.
What does the mass number determine?
The Number Of Protons & Neutrons In An Atom.

How do you determine the number of neutrons in an atom of aluminum27?
there are 24 and no it isn't too high
How do you determine the atomic mass number of any atom?
protons plus neutrons
Which particles are in the nuleus of an atom?
Inside of an atom there are protons and neutrons. The protons determine the element whereas the neutron can determine if it is an isotope of that element. Of course there are many smaller particles inside of protons and neutrons like quarks and gluons and ... strings.
If a neutral atom has a mass of 12 amu and an atomic number of 5 determine the number of protons neutrons and electrons in the atom.?
Protons: 5 Neutrons: 7 Electrons: 5
