• 40 protons

• 22 protons

• 21.9 protons

The atomic mass of an atom is equal to

• number of protons plus number of neutrons

• number of protons plus number of electrons

• number of electrons plus the number of neutrons

The atomic mass of an atom is equal to

• number of protons plus number of neutrons

• number of protons plus number of electrons

• number of electrons plus the number of neutrons

The number of these determines which element an atom is.

• neutrons

• protons

How is the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom calculated?

• Add the number of e- and p+ together
• Subtract the number of e- from p+
• Subtract the number of p+ from the mass number
• Add the mass number to the number of e-
