WHAT IS THE ATOMIC MASS OF AN ATOM?

Each ELEMENT has an ATOMIC WEIGHT that is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons (in one atom of the element).

Oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and atomic mass of 15.999. We can determine the number of NEUTRONS in an oxygen atom.

That's right! We can find the # of neutrons in an oxygen atom because we already know the number of protons.

Fill in the Blanks

How many protons are in an oxygen atom?

Type answer...

The number of protons in an atom is equal to the atomic number of the atom.

An atom of oxygen has 8 protons.

To find the number of neutrons in an oxygen atom:

1. Round the atomic mass to the nearest whole number. 2. Subtract the atomic number from the rounded atomic mass.

1. 15.999 rounds to 16.

2. Atomic mass - atomic number = # of neutrons.

Answer: 16-8= 8 neutrons

Find the number of neutrons in an atom of boron.

1. Round the atomic mass to the nearest whole number.

2. Subtract the atomic number from 11.

What is your answer?

6 is the number of neutrons in a boron atom.

Great job!
