Atomic mass and Atomic number


To find the number of neutrons is an isotope start with the mass number and what?

The mass number of an isotope is the number of neutrons and protons in the isotope, let this be p +n = (mass number). To find the number of neutrons you need the atomic number (number of protons), let this be p. You then subtract the two: mass number - atomic number = no. of neutrons p + n - p = no. of neutrons = n


Atomic number of 2 and atomic mass of 4 how many neutrons?

To find the number of neutrons simply subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass. In this case there are two neutrons.


What two ways do isotopes differ?

- different atomic mass - different number of neutrons - different nuclear properties - etc.


How find 1 percent of a number?

Two ways. Pick the one you prefer.1). Divide the number by 100.2). Move the number's decimal point two places to the left.


What is a sentence with the word mass number?

"mass number" is not "the/a" word, it is two words.

What do you do to find the mass of an object?

Two ways to find the mass of an object:1). Compare it with an object whose mass is known, for example on a balance scale, using a set of calibrated masses.2). Weigh the unknown mass. Since we know the acceleration of gravity on earth (9.8 meters/32.2 feet per second2), we can divide the weight by the acceleration of gravity to find the mass.


What are two ways mass can change?

melt to a liquid and evaporate as a gas


How do you find out how many neutrons are in an atom?

For any element in ther periodic table., two numbers are given. They are the Atomic No. and the Atomic Mass. The Atomic Number indicates the elements position in the periodic table. The number of protons in the element The number of electrons in the nuetrally charged element. The Atomic mass is the total of all the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom . So to find the number of neutrons in an element , the difference between the Atomic Mass and the Atomic Number is the number of neutrons present. Two examples ; - hydrogen ; [1/1] H ; 1 - 1 = 0 so no neutrons. chlorine ; [35/17]Cl ; 35-17 = 18 so 18 neutrons present. NB The larger number is the Atomic Mass, usually printed at the top left of a given element. The small number is the Atomic Number, usually printed at the bottom(left) of any given element.


Why do two isotopes of the element have the same atomic number but different mass numbers?

why do you think i looked on this thing to find the answer.YOU TELL ME!


What is the Mass number of helium atom that has two protons and two neutrons?

4 because the mass number equals protons plus neutrons. Which is 4.
