An element has 5 protons, 6 neutrons, and 5 electrons. What is the mass number?
Ellie AndrewsMass number = protons + neutrons
Since the atomic number is the number of protons, the mass number of an element is the sum of its protons and neutrons. The only number that can vary for a given element and maintain its identity is its neutron count.
The mass number in this instance would be 11.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
