Talk:Mass number/Archive 1

Why it is A? or not for example M or T? Thx in advance for answering me. Martin from Poland.

Mass number is also called atomic mass number. The A probably comes from atomic. The symbol M means molar mass. --Tsemii 11:04, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I have changed the symbol listed here for neutrons and protons to lowercase p's and n's. It is important to keep these symbols in the lowercase when editing this article in the future. Ring-Ding 02:21, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

what yet another time? Isobars by definition have the same A. Would you claim it is a new for you? Learn and memorize definitions instead of inserting cosmetic whitespace. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 19:26, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Also, “ultimately reaching” is not necessary: many heavy nuclei decay by α, fission, and so on. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 19:38, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
