  • Calculating Atomic Mass Number: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to determine the atomic mass number:

    * Atomic Mass Number: The atomic mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.

    * Given Information:

    * You have 5 protons (since the atomic number defines the element, and the element is defined by its proton count).

    * You have 6 neutrons.

    * Calculation:

    * Atomic Mass Number = Protons + Neutrons

    * Atomic Mass Number = 5 + 6 = 11

    Therefore, the atomic mass number of this atom is 11.
