mass numbers are whole numbers because the mass number is number of protons in an atom, plus the number of neutrons. you can only have a whole neutron and or proton, therefore, all mass numbers are whole numbers.
Density is calculated by dividing the mass and volume of an object.
Density
The main reason is that many elements exist in several isotopic forms. These are atoms with the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons. Since the atomic mass is essentially based on the number of protons and neutrons in each atom, the element will exist in several forms with different masses. The atomic mass is the average of the masses of these isotopes, weighted together according to their abundance.
mass/volume. most often represented as g/cm3
The mass number of chlorine is 35.5. It is calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of a chlorine atom.
The mass number for argon-37 is 37. It is calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the argon atom.
The mass number for magnesium (Mg) is 24. This is calculated by adding together the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of a magnesium atom.
The mass number of nickel is 58. It is calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of a nickel atom.
The mass number of ammonia is 17. This is calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, which for ammonia (NH3) is 7 protons and 10 neutrons.
The mass number is calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons together. In this case, the mass number would be 60 (27 protons + 33 neutrons).
The mass number of silicon is 28. It is calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of a silicon atom. Silicon has 14 protons and 14 neutrons, giving it a mass number of 28.
The atomic number of fluorine is 9, which means it has 9 protons in its nucleus. The atomic mass of fluorine is approximately 19. It is calculated by adding up the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus.
The number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom can be calculated by subtracting the number of protons (atomic number) from the atomic mass of the atom. Atomic mass - Atomic number = Number of neutrons.
The mass number is calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons, so for a Chlorine atom with 17 protons and 18 neutrons, the mass number would be 17 (protons) + 18 (neutrons) = 35. The atomic number is simply the number of protons, which in this case is 17.
You can find the number of neutrons present in any individual element by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number.
The mass number is calculated by adding together the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. A sulfur atom typically has 16 protons, so if it contains 31 neutrons, the mass number would be 16 (protons) + 31 (neutrons) = 47.
