If an atom of element has a mass number of 271 and 161 neutrons in it's nucleus what is the atomic number of the element?
110. number of protons = mass number - neutrons = 271 - 261 = 110
How many neutrons are in the element bohrium?
For each isotope of bohrium the number of neutrons is different. Number of neutrons = Mass number of an isotope of Bh – 107
How is the mass number related to the number of protons and neutrons and atoms has?
The mass number of an element is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons.
Is the atomic number of an atom equal to the number of protons or neutrons or electrons in the nucleus?
No, atomic number equals the number of protons.The number of neutrons is NOT specific to an element, and various atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons - these are called isotopes.
How many nuetrons is in lithium?
4 neutrons in the most stable isotope of lithium (3Li7)
How do you figures out how many neutrons are in an an atom?
Finding out how many neutrons are in a atom is easy. All you have to do is find the element's atomic number and atomic weight.
How do you figure out how many neutrons are found in an atom?
Finding out how many neutrons are in a atom is easy. All you have to do is find the element's atomic number and atomic weight.
What are the element number of neutrons?
Number of Neutrons = Mass number - Number of Protons
Isotopes of an element have a different number of?
neutrons
What are atoms that have the same element but different neutrons?
IsotopesThe number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the element. The number of neutrons can vary. If two atoms of the same element have a different number of neutrons in their nuclei, they are isotopes of that element.
Can isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?
Two different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons. That's what an isotope is. So, no, isotopes of an element can not have the same number of neutrons.
Does all the isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?
No, the number of neutrons vary, but protons and electrons are static among an element.
What is the sum of protons and neutrons known as an element?
Sum of protons and neutrons is the Mass number of the element. The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. Neutrons and protons are sub atomic particles.
What equation do you use to find the number of neutrons in an element?
Number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons
The mass number of an atom indicates the number of what?
The mass number is the sum of protons + neutrons.
Does the number of neutrons tell what element it is?
no
Do all of the atoms of the same element have the same number of neutrons?
Yes, all atoms of the same element have the same number of neutrons.
