I need to find out the atomic number. (Protons)
I am only given the number of neutrons and atomic mass.
EXAMPLE 1:
Neutrons: 180
Atomic Mass: 305.15
EXAMPLE 2:
Neutrons: 198
Atomic Mass: 321.32
REMINDER: These are NOT real elements.
I will report any and all answers that are not applicable.
Answers & Comments
Answer:
Example 1: Proton number is 125
Example 2: Proton number is 123
Explanation:
Since atomic mass is the weight of an atom, it is mostly the weight of proton and neutron. So, you must subract the neutron to the atomic mass so you can get the number of protons present in an atom.
