What is the mass of an atom with 44 protons, 42 electrons, and 57 neutrons?

The atomic mass is 101.

Explanation:

Protons and neutrons are the only particles that contribute to mass. Electrons do have a mass, but it's so miniscule and insignificant that it doesn't contribute to the mass of an atom. In every instance of calculating atomic mass, add the number of protons to the number of neutrons.

Therefore,

44 + 57 = 101

number of protons + number of neutrons = atomic mass

Also, there can never be a negative amount of protons or neutrons, so if you get a negative number, there's something wrong.

Bonus Information:

Don't confuse mass with charge! As it says in its name, neutrons are neutral or have no charge. Protons (+) and electrons (-) are the only particles that have a charge, so calculating that would be different.

If you were calculating the atomic charge with the same numbers, your answer would be:

44 - 42 = 2

Charge = +2

What To Remember:

M = p + n

C = p - e

C = atomic charge, M = atomic mass, p =protons, n = neutrons, e = electrons

I hope this helps!

organisms are more likely to be more preserved in mud than sand because mud is moist and wet, while sand is very dry.

d: the voltage of the secondary coil is less than that of the primary coil.

im not suree sorry if wrong
