Best Answer

All stable molecules except hydrogen contain neutrons (and even hydrogen molecules contain some neutrons if you choose a large enough sample, just not many).

The neutrons are found inside the atoms that make up the molecule; only hydrogen-1 (the form of hydrogen that has a nucleus consisting of a single proton) has no neutrons. Any other atom with no neutrons is radioactive and highly unstable (in the sense of "undergoes radioactive decay in fractions of a nanosecond"). On Earth, about one in one million hydrogen atoms is hydrogen-2, which has both a proton and a neutron, and is not radioactive, so around one in 500,000 hydrogen molecules contains a neutron.

Molecules do not have a nucleus as this is only found in advanced organisms which are referred to as eukaryotes. However, there are molecules in the nucleus which perform various functions.

How many neutrons are there in 3 BeF2 molecules?

There are 10 neutrons for each F atom, and 5 for each Be atom, so each BeF2 molecule will have 10+10+5=15 neutrons. You need 3 molecules, so 3*15=45

Are molecules the simplest form of a neutron?

No, neutrons are one the particles that make up an atom. The atom consists of protons and neutrons in the core with electrons revolving around the periphery. Molecules are a group of atoms boned together, usually non-metal to non-metal to be considered molecules.
