Number of protons
Atomic mass is the number of protons + the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. On the periodic table, the average atomic mass of an element will the be number at the bottom of each box.
Take the Atomic Mass and round it to the nearest whole number. Then subtract this number and the atomic number of that element.
by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. the atomic number is the one under the element's symbol and the mass number is the one above the element's symbol.
The atomic number IS the number of protons. if you are given the mass number, then subtract the number of protons from it.
The atomic mass (rounded to the nearest whole number) is the number of nucleons - i.e. protons+neutrons. The atomic number is just the number of protons. So the difference between the two (mass minus number) tells you the number of neutrons.
The mass number is the total number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus. The atomic number is the total number of protons in the nucleus. So subtract the atomic number from the mass number and that will give you the total number of neutrons in the nucleus.
The mass number is the total number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus. The atomic number is the total number of protons in the nucleus. So subtract the atomic number from the mass number and that will give you the total number of neutrons in the nucleus.
If you have both the mass number and atomic number you can figure it out, since the atomic number is the number of protons. Say the mass number is 13 and the atomic number is 8. 13-8 is 5, so you would have 5 neutrons.
Each nucleon (proton or neutron) contributes about 1 atomic mass unit to the mass of the atom. The mass contribution of the electrons can be ignored, since it takes about 1800 of them to equal the mass of a nucleon and the heaviest elements known have around 1/15th that number of electrons. So if you subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass rounded to the nearest whole number (number of nucleons), what's left is the number of neutrons.
Number of protons= Atomic number Number of neutrons= Mass number-Atomic number Number of electrons=Number of protons (If there is no charge on the atom)
83.98 amu is the Atomic Mass, 36 is the atomic number.
No, the atomic mass is not equal to the atomic number. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, while the atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The atomic mass can differ from the atomic number, especially due to the presence of neutrons.
