how to find the mass number of the first 18 elements


genivedaan06: Have you memorized atomic numbers of the elements?
genivedaan06: if yes then there is a trick
genivedaan06: for evdn atomic mumbers, mass number is twice the atomic no
genivedaan06: even,
genivedaan06: and for odd nos its (n×2)+1
genivedaan06: there are a few exceptions which i reccommend memorizing

If you remember the number of protons and nuetrons then you can add them.

How to find the mass number of the first 18 elements

Together, the number of protons and the number of neutrons determine an element's mass number:

mass number = protons + neutrons.

  • If you want to calculate how many neutrons an atom has, you can simply subtract the number of protons, or atomic number, from the mass number.
