:The nominal mass of an ion is calculated by simply adding the integer masses of the lightest isotopes of all elements contributing to the molecule, e.g. to calculate the nominal mass of CH<sub>3</sub>Br you have to use the nominal masses of <sup>12</sup>C, <sup>1</sup>H, and <sup>79</sup>Br to obtain M<sub>nomi</sub> = 94 [[amu]]

The number is approximately the sum of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus. In mass analysis the [[mass number]] is the sum of the masses of the atoms making up an ion or other particle (<sup>12</sup>C = 12, <sup>1</sup>H = 1, <sup>16</sup>O = 16, <sup>14</sup>N = 14...))
