Concept: Every atom has a proton, a subatomic particle, in its nucleus. The particle possesses an electrical charge that is positive and opposite to the electron's.
Every atom's nucleus has a neutron, with the exception of plain hydrogen, which does not. The fact that the particle has no electrical charge—it is neutral—gives it its name. Neutrons have a very high density.
Given: ……………………… is equal to sum of number of proton and neutron
To find: the blank
Solution:
Mass number is equal to sum of number of proton and neutron.
- The mass of an atom is determined by the sum of the protons and neutrons.
- It is symbolised by the letter "A."
- Since protons and neutrons coexist in the atom's nucleus, they are collectively referred to as nucleons.
- For instance, a carbon atom contains 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Its mass number is 12 as a result.
- All atoms of an element have the same amount of protons, although they can have different numbers of neutrons. As a result, various isotopes of the same element can have different mass values.
- An electron weighs practically nothing. As a result, an atom's atomic mass and mass number are practically equal.
