What is the atomic number the atomic mass and the number of neutrons of the element hydrogen?

The 'standard' hydrogen atom has atomic number 1, atomic mass 1, no neutrons. Although there are 2 other isotopes of hydrogen: - (cant confirm name) which has atomic mass 2 and 1 neutron. - (cant confirm name) has atomic mass of 3 and 1 neutron. All isotopes have atomic number 1.


When the elements on the periodic table are arranged by increasung atomic number the atomic mass generally increases as the atomic number increases. for some elements however the atomic mass of the el?

It is difficult to be sure what the question is about because it has been truncated.However, it is true that the atomic mass (or standard atomic weights) increases with atomin number. There are, of course, isotopes of elements with a low atomic number which are heavier than atoms of higher atomic number. But there are some examples where the average mass is not in the expected sequence.


What is the difference between Mass number and Relative of atomic mass?

Atomic mass is the average of the masses of the naturally existing (i.e. mixture of) isotopes of one specific element.The atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom (specific for one specific isotope).

Is it true that The atomic mass is equal to 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.


What is the difference between the atomic number mass number and atomic mass?

We can find Atomic Mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.


What do you do with an atomic number and an atomic mass?

The atomic number is the number of a chemical element in the periodic table of Mendeleev; the atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons. The atomic mass is the mass of an atom expressed in relative atomic mass units.


Can you use the atomic number and atomic mass to calculate the number of each subatomic particle?

atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons atomic mass = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
