What two particles of the atom are added together to get the atomic mass?
4
What can we find on the periodic table?
The Periodic table is a table with more than a hundred Elements on it. As of 2010, there are 118. Along with the names of the Elements there is the chemical symbol of the Element, the atomic number, and usually the atomic mass of the Element. The atomic number represents the number of Protons in one atom, and the atomic mass is the mass of the Protons and neutrons added together. The Electrons are not added onto the mass of the Protons and Neutrons because the Electrons are negligible.
What is the trend in atomic mass going down a group?
The atomic mass will increase. As you go down a group in the periodic table the atomic number rises, this increase in the number of protons is accompanied by an increase in the number of neutrons to stabilise the nucleus, and both together lead to an increase in atomic mass.
What trends do you notice about the atomic number and atomic mass as you move left to right across the table?
they increase by one going from left to right totally a guess
What particles are added together to determine atomic mass?
The atomic mass of an atom is determined by the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, and neutrons have no charge. The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus is called its mass number.
