The atomic mass of an element whose atoms consist of eight protons, nine neutrons, and eight electrons is _____. (Ignore the periodic table entry for this element and only consider what the atomic mass would be given the number of subatomic particles in this question).

Verified Answer :

Atomic mass=Total number of protons + Total Number of neutrons.

Here
Total number of protons=8

Total number of neutrons=9

Atomic mass= 8 + 9

                     = 17

Answer is 17.
