How do you find the mass number of an element or compound without knowing the number of neutrons?

Atomic weight is really the only way to know how many neutrons there are. However, if you have no reason to think that you are dealing with an unusual isotope, you can assume the normal distribution of isotopes.

Wiki User

What is the only element without neutrons?
The only element without any neutrons is Hydrogen-1, which has a lone proton.

Is lithium an atom or an ion?
If you just say lithium, it's probable you are referring to an atom. Lithium however can form an ion, Li+ (where the + should be a superscript). Without knowing the context it is not possible to give a definitive answer.
What is the definition of isortopes?
Isotopesare variants of atoms of a particular chemical element, which have differing numbers of neutrons. Atoms of a particular element by definition must contain the same number of protons but may have a distinct number of neutrons which differs from atom to atom, without changing the designation of the atom as a particular element.
What has 0 neutrons?
hydrogenEdit.Whoever wrote the answer above clearly is an idiot. At the moment there is no element with 0 neutrons. However, there are theories to an element known as element X. This element is obviously complete theory.By the way hydrogen has 1 neuron not 0.
How do you find out the mass number of an element without knowing the protons and neutrons?
It is not possible.
What is the only element without neutrons?
The only element without any neutrons is Hydrogen-1, which has a lone proton.
What is the number of neutrons in an atom with atomic mass of 35?
cannot say without knowing the element, that is the number of protons.Sulfur-35, radioactive; 19 neutronsChlorine-35, stable; 18 neutronsArgon-35, radioactive; 17 neutrons
Can you identify an atom without knowing number of neutrons in it?
Yes, and in order to find the Number of Neutrons, subtract Atomic Mass from Number Of Protons, the result will be the Number of Neutrons for that atom *No. Of Neutron=Atomic Mass - Number Of Protons
Which element does not have any neutron in this atom?
Hydrogen is the only element without any neutrons.
What is the half-life of this element?
Without knowing the element and the specific isotope, this has no answer.
Can you identify an atom without number of neutrons in it?
Every element has a specific number of protons, which is how an element is identified. That gives its atomic number. The number of neutrons can vary, and therefore is not useful in identifying an element.
C program to duplicate element from a set of elements?
Cannot be solved without knowing what an 'Element' is.
Neutrons for neon?
To provide the attractive binding of the nuclear strong force, without adding to the electromagnetic force. Without neutrons, the only chemical element would be hydrogen.
Are you still an atom without neutrons?
All of the elements with the exception of hydrogen have neutrons. So yes there is one element that doesn't need neutrons to be stable, the rest need them.
