Question

5. Can you determine the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom by looking at the element's average atomic mass and the atomic number? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

No you can't

Explanation:

The atomic number is the amount of protons in element's nucleus, that's one reason why. The second reason is that the atomic mass is protons and neutrons combined, their estimated value, which doesn't show how much neutrons are in an element. It does show combined, but not specifically neutrons
