1 amu = 1 nucleon
An even number really has no meaning
Mass number in chemistry is the number of nucleons in the nucleus. Nucleon is the common name for proton and neutron. In case of Sodium atom the mass number is 23. If it gets changed by adding one more neutron then it is an isotope which is used in medical field as a radio isotope to study about the blood flow.
you can divide a number which make it
what does the number 27 mean?
The nucleon number is not 35.5! Chlorine has isotopes with 35 or 37 nucleons but a fractional number is not possible.
When you subtract the proton number from the nucleon number, you get the number of neutrons in an atom. This is because the nucleon number represents the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom, while the proton number represents the number of protons only.
No need to add. Use the elemnts mass number, which is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons
The nucleon number, also known as the mass number, can be found by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus. It is represented by the letter A in the notation of an element's isotopes.
The nucleon number (or mass number).
The difference between the mass number and the atomic number is called the number of neutrons in an atom.
The mass number also refers to the nucleon number. Usually the larger number among the two present in the periodic table, the nucleon number refers to the number of protons and neutrons present within an atomic nucleus of an element.
The nucleon number of nitrogen is 14. This includes both protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the nitrogen atom. It is calculated by adding the number of protons (which is the atomic number) to the number of neutrons.
isotopes
The proton number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, while the nucleon number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Since protons and neutrons have different masses, the nucleon number will be higher than the proton number in isotopes where the number of neutrons is greater than the number of protons.
Nucleon.
The binding energy per nucleon varies with mass number because it represents the average energy required to separate a nucleus into its individual nucleons. For lighter nuclei, the binding energy per nucleon increases as the nucleus becomes more stable. As nuclei become larger (higher mass number), the binding energy per nucleon decreases due to the diminishing strength of the nuclear force relative to the electrostatic repulsion between protons.
