MaxineProtons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the element's atomic number. Neutrons are neutral particles also found in the nucleus, and together with protons, they determine the Atomic Mass of the element.

What two factors determine the atomic mass of an elements?
neutrons and protons
In periodic table of elements it is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons of an atom.?
The sum of protons and neutrons is the atomic mass.
What particles make up the mass of an atom?
The number of protons
Atomic masses of any two elements contain the same number of?
protons and neutrons. This is because the atomic mass of an element is calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons determines the element's identity, while the number of neutrons affects its stability.
If there is a difference between a substance's atomic number and its atomic mass and which measure must be the larger number?
The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom, while the atomic mass represents the sum of protons and neutrons. Generally, the atomic mass is larger than the atomic number for most elements since it includes both protons and neutrons.
