Could you use average number of neutrons instead of atomic number to build up a periodic table good as that of mendeleyev?

it won't be possible since some elements exixts as isotopes

How are neutrons in an atom calculated?
As an example, take Americium 241 - 241 is the atomic weight. It is Atomic number 95 in the periodic table and so there are 95 protons. There are thus 241 -95 = 146 neutrons. That principle applies to all the elements.
What is C8 gas?
C8 is most likely referring to Carbon 8, which is an isotope of carbon with 8 neutrons instead of 6.
Why are elements atomic mass not in strict increasing order in the periodic table?
Elements in the periodic table are arrange by atomic number (number of protons) because various isotopes of elements exist with different atomic masses (atomic mass being determined by the number of neutrons added to the number of protons). The chemical properties are mainly dependent on the electrons, or in some cases the charge of the protons, which is independent of the number of neutrons.
What is the radioactive isotope in the periodic table?
A normal periodic table does not list isotopes, but elements, almost all of which occur in more than one isotope, and there is probably at least one radioactive isotope for every element. Instead of the periodic table, a table of nuclides is needed to answer this question.
How would the result of Thomsons experiment change if the beam were a stream of neutrons instead of a stream of electrons?
The number of protons and electrons would be diffrent
How would the modern periodic table would be different if elements were arranged by average atomic mass instead of by atomic number?
how would the modern Periodic Table be different if elements were arranged by average Atomic Mass instead of by atomic number
Neutrons in potassium?
I'm not sure... but as soon as I figure out the answer I will post the answer... sorry. This answer is better than the one the person before me posted... They said poop and I thought that that was not a true answer for sure and it's nothing to play about and to put a fake answer on here :)
How are isotopes placed in the periodic table?
Isotopes and their prevalence are not shown on the periodic table. Instead, the atomic weight shown for each element is an average of the atomic weights of all naturally-occurring isotopes (calculated from percentages occurring on Earth).
What do electron microscopes use instead of light to magnify?
it is the neutrons
What is one problem that chemists in about 1800 had to solve before the periodic table?
What to use instead of the periodic table.

What elements does contain 35 number of neutrons and 14 protons?
A silicon isotope called silicon 35, with 35 neutrons instead of the regular 14.
Why you use slow neutrons instead of fast neutrons in nuclear reaction?
in reacter U-235 fission is due to slow neutrons because in reacter the probability of fission from fast neutron is approximatly zero.
How are the elements arranged by atomic mass?
They are NOT normally arranged by atomic mass; instead they are arranged in the periodic table by their atomic number. The latter is the number of protons (or electrons) in a single atom of the element and it is a constant for the element. The atomic mass is an average of the isotopes of the element (in proportion to their abundance).While the atomic number is always an integer, increases in steps of 1 and elements that are a specific "distances" apart share similar chemical characteristic. On the other hand the atomic mass is rarely an integer, and occasionally it reverses the order laid out be the periodic table: for example, element 18, argon has an atomic mass of 39.948 which is greater than that of element 19, potassium with a mass of 39.098: this is because the predominant isotope of argon has 22 neutrons while that for potassium has 20 neutrons.
What contribution did Mosley makers the development of the periodic table?
Henry Moseley showed elements in the periodic table should be in order by their atomic number instead of atomic mass.
Is oxygen a living organism?
No, Oxygen is a gas and an element. It has 8 protons and electrons. Even though it isn't a living organism, it is necessary for most life on earth (a few microbes breath sulfur instead). No, it is an element with 8 protons and neutrons, and it is required for most things on earth to be able to survive. A few bacteria do breath sulfur instead of oxygen. No. Its just a type of gas on the periodic table of elements,the symbol is O.
Is tungsten an insulator?
Tungsten is a metallic element of the periodic table. Because of this, it is not an insulator of energy but a conductor instead.
