Protons and neutrons determine the ATOMIC MASS
electrons
Revolving around the nucleus at a distance is a cloud of particles called electrons. Each electron has a negative charge.

Answer:
Wt Avg Atomic Wt = 28.0577 amu
Explanation:
Atomic Mass = ∑Wt Avg contributions of isotopes of an element
Si-28 => 92.21% => 0.9221 decimal fraction => Wt Avg Si-28 = 0.9221(27.9769) = 25.7695 amu
Si-29 => 4.69% => 0.0469 decimal fraction => Wt Avg Si-29 = 0.0469(28.9765) = 1.3590 amu
Si-30 => 3.10% => 0.0310 decimal fraction => Wt Avg Si-30 = 0.0310(29.9737) = 0.9292
Wt Avg Atomic Wt = ∑Wt Avg Contributions = (25.7695 + 1.3590 + 0.9292)amu = 28.0577 amu
