How can i calculate the mass number of an atom ?
There are a few ways to determine the mass number, depending on what information you have about the isotope: 1. The mass number is calculated as the sum of an isotope’s protons and neutrons. 2. The name of an isotope generally includes the mass number. For instance, carbon-14 has a mass number of 14. 3. The atomic mass (aka isotope mass or atomic weight) rounded to the nearest whole number is the mass number.
