To determine the mass number of an atom, you need to know the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Given that the atom contains 28 protons and 34 neutrons, the mass number can be calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons together.
Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
Mass number = 28 protons + 34 neutrons
Mass number = 62
So, the mass number of the atom is 62.

To find the mass number of an atom, you need to add together the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus.
In this case, you stated that the atom contains 28 protons and 34 neutrons. The number of electrons does not impact the mass number because they are much lighter than protons and neutrons.
To find the mass number, simply add the number of protons (28) and the number of neutrons (34).
Therefore, the mass number of the atom is 28 + 34 = 62.
