How many neutrons are in one atom in fluorine?
subtract the atomic number by the Atomic Mass, and that is the answer. if its a neutral atom, there are probably the same number neutrons as protons.
What does the number of neutrons determine?
The number of neutrons in an atom determines the isotope of the element. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons. This affects the stability and nuclear properties of the atom.
A Lithium atom has an atomic mass of 6 How many neutrons does this atom have?
This atom has three neutrons. The atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons. All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons (lithium has three), so the neutrons have to account for the rest of the mass. 6 (the mass number)-3 (the number of protons in a lithium atom)=3. So this atom must have three neutrons.
If the atomic mass of an atom is 48 and the atom contains 20 protons how many neutrons does the atom contain?
If the atomic mass of the atom is 48 and it contains 20 protons, then the atom contains 28 neutrons. This can be calculated by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass, since the atomic mass includes both protons and neutrons.
How you can use the atoms mass number and atomic number to determine the number of protons electrons and neutrons in the atom?
The numbers of protons and of electrons in an atom are both the same as the atomic number, and the difference between the mass number and the atomic number is the number of neutrons in the atom.
Atomic mass is the number of what in the nucleus?
Atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons that are present in the nucleus While the number of protons and electrons remain constant in the neutral atom, the number of neutrons may vary within different atom species of the same element. As a result, the atomic mass for one atom may be different from another atom of the same element if the number of neutrons varies.
Is the atomic weight the same as the atomic number?
No, the atomic number is the number of protons that an atom contains. Atomic weight is the number of protons and neutrons.
How many protons and neutrons are there in the nucleus of an atom that has an atomic number of 84 and a mass number of 210?
84 protons, the same as the atomic number, and (210 - 84) or 126 neutrons. The numbers of protons and neutrons together equals the mass number.
Is the mass number of an atom equal to the atomic number?
Only if the atom is hydrogen-1! The mass number of the atom is equal to the sum of the numbers of protons, which is the same as the atomic number, plus the number of neutrons. The only non-radioactive atom without neutrons is hydrogen-1.
If an atom has an atomic namber of 20 and a mass namber of 53 how many protons and neutrons does that atom have?
uh, for one thing mass and atomic nUmbers. and the other: it has 20 protons and 33 neutrons. The atom would have 20 protons and 33 neutrons. The number of protons is always the same as the atomic number. To find the number of neutrons, you simply subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass. Atomic mass - Atomic number = number of neutrons (53 - 20 = 33) If you add the number of protons and the number of neutrons together, you should get the atomic mass.
An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called what?
An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called an Isotope.
How is the atomic mass determined?
Atomic Mass is the number of protons in an atom plus the number of neutrons in the same atom.
