Why is the mass number of beryllium-9?
The atomic number of beryllium-9 is four. This is because the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which is also the atomic number, determines what element an atom will be.
How do we find atomic mass?
For any given isotope, the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus is called the mass number. This is because each proton and each neutron weigh one atomic mass unit (amu). By adding together the number of protons and neutrons and multiplying by 1 amu, you can calculate the mass of the atom.
What is the atomic mass of beryllium rounded?
For example, the atomic mass of beryllium is 9.0112 so you would round that to 9.
How do you calculate mass number?
Together, the number of protons and the number of neutrons determine an element’s mass number: mass number = protons + neutrons. If you want to calculate how many neutrons an atom has, you can simply subtract the number of protons, or atomic number, from the mass number.
How do u calculate atomic mass?
Who correct the atomic mass of beryllium?
Beryllium is a monoisotopic element and its atomic weight is determined solely by its isotope 9Be. The Commission last revised the standard atomic weight of beryllium in 2013 based on the latest Atomic Mass Evaluation by IUPAP.
What is carbon 12 atomic mass?
Atomic mass is based on a relative scale and the mass of 12C (carbon twelve) is defined as 12 amu; so, this is an exact number.
What is the mass number of lithium 8?

How do you find mass number?
The mass number is defined as the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. The number of neutrons = mass number − atomic number.
