It gives the number of nucleons = protons + neutrons.
The mass number (similar to the Atomic Mass and not to be confused with atomic number) When the number of protons and neutrons is added the result will be its atomic mass or mass number.
The atomic mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Subtracting the number of protons will give you the number of neutrons in the atom.
atomic mass - 14 atomic number - 7 It has that because it has 7 protons (and electrons) = the atomic number. And it also has about 7 neutrons and roughly, the mass number = the number of neutrons+ the number of protons.
The mass number of an atom is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom, so adding the atomic number to the number of neutrons will give you the mass number.
To get the decimal in an atomic mass, you divide the atomic mass number by 100. For example, if the atomic mass is 23, dividing by 100 would give you 0.23.
the protrons, neutrons and electrons in a atom
You can determine the number of neutrons in an atom by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass (rounded to the nearest whole number). This will give you the number of neutrons in the atom.
Atomic number means number of protons present in an atom. Atomic number= number of protons. mass number = number of neutrons+ number of protons. So if you subtract the number of protons you get neutrons and if you subtract neutrons you get protons. mass number - protons= neutrons Mass number - neutrons = protons.
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.
<P>proton + neutrons give you a nucleon. the nuceon(or protons +neutron) give you the overall mass of the atom. the mass of electrons is not included, i dont even think that it has mass at all. Hope you're answered?</P>
To calculate the atomic mass of an atom, you would add the number of protons and neutrons together. Protons and neutrons each have a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit (amu). The sum of the protons and neutrons will give you the atomic mass of the atom in atomic mass units.
83.98 amu is the Atomic Mass, 36 is the atomic number.
