38There can be multiple atoms that have the same number of neutrons, these are called isotopes. The most common isotope of strontium (one of four stable isotopes), is strontium 88. This means that the number of protons and neutrons together in that isotope is 88. And since all atoms of strontium (regardless of their isotope) have 38 protons, that means that the most common isotope of strontium has 50 neutrons.
Find the atomic number. That tells you the number of protons and electrons (in a neutral atom). Then find the atomic weight. The number of protons plus the number of neutrons will equal the atomic weight. So if you know the wt. just subtract the number of protons and you will have the number of neutrons.
The number of protons
The mass number of an atom is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. This is is the same as the number of electrons plus the number of neutrons since the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons in an atom.
Subatomic particles are protons, neutrons and electrons.
Sr has 38 protons, 38 electrons, and 50 neutrons.

54 protons, an average of 77 neutrons, and 54 electrons.
Silicon 28 (28Si) has 14 protons, neutrons and electrons.
You will have 97 protons and 100 neutrons. But I am not sure about electrons...

no, you add the protons and 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 number of protons
No they are not in the same way that arms and legs are not people.Protons, neutrons and electrons can come together in some specific numbers form atoms (or molecules). You can also have electrons by themselves. Normally you will not find isolated neutrons and protons. Alpha particles are 2 protons+2 neutrons which are found in radioactive decay.
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons of the nucleus.
