Yes. Iodine has an atomic number of 53, which means it has 53 protons.
The 131 number is the mass number: the sum of the number of protons and neutrons. Iodine has 53 protons and will have 53 electrons if its a neutral atom. To find the number of neutrons, just subtract the mass number with the number of protons 131 - 53 = 78 neutrons. See link below for periodic table.
Most atomic of iodine has 74 neutrons. The atomic weight of iodine (126.9) represents the combined mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. Since the atomic number (53) represents the number of protons in the nucleus, subtracting the atomic number from the atomic weight gives the number of neutrons.
The mass number for iodine is 131, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons. Iodine has 53 protons and 53 electrons, if neutral. To find how many neutrons iodine has subtract 53, the number of protons from the mass number of 131. This shows that iodine has 78 neutrons.
The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of that element.
The atomic number of iodine is 53 which means it has 53 protons.
An atom's atomic number gives its number of protons. Iodine's atomic number is 53. Thus, iodine has 53 protons.
there are 53 protons in the nucleus and 27 electrons on the 2nd shell
Yes. Iodine has an atomic number of 53, which means it has 53 protons.
Iodine 131, a radioactive and unstable form
Iodine is a halogen. Single atom has 53 protons.
The atomic number of iodine is 53 so there are 53 protons in the nucleus, irrespective of which isotope you are considering. 53 is the atomic number and defines iodine.
Iodine has 53 protons. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number which is the number at the top of each element that is bolded.
Refer to the Periodic Table. Iodine has atomic Number of 53. This tells us that there are 53 protons in the nucleus. I-127 is the Atomic Mass. The figure is the total of all the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. So the total number of neutrons will be 127 - 53 = 74 neutrons.
Atomic number is equal to the number of protons of an element. Atomic number of sulphur is 16 while the atomic number of Iodine is 53. So iodine has more protons.
The atomic number is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus of the particle. Therefore, every atom, ion, and isotope of iodine has an atomic number of 53 (regardless of its mass number).
you can find the number of protons by looking at the atomic number (53), as the number of protons does not change between isotopes. You can find the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number from the Atomic Mass (131), therefore, iodine-131 has 53 protons and 78 neutrons.
