Answer:

the mass is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The atomic mass equation for an atom is Protons + neutrons = atomic mass. The reason the electrons aren't included here is because their masses are EXTREMELY SMALL, to the point where there wouldn't be any point including them- it wouldnt really change your answer

Since there are 3 protons and 4 neutrons, we plug them in to the equation

3+4 = atomic mass

7 = atomic mass

so your atomic mass is 7

Hope this helps :)
