Which chemical element has 177 neutrons 77 protons and 77 electrons?
Atoms are defined by the number of protons in the nucleus; therefore, we can tell what element it is by the number of protons (the information about the neutrons and electrons is unnecessary). An atom with 77 protons is iridium.
What does an element's mass number tell us?
The mass number tells you the number of Protons and Neutrons in an atomic nucleus.
What does the protons and neutrons tell you about the oxygen atom?
protons will tell the atomic number (8) the sum of protons and neutrons will give the mass number of the element
What does the atomic number of silicon tell you about number of protons neutrons and electrons?
The atomic number of silicon is 14. This means that a silicon atom has 14 protons in its nucleus, and a neutral silicon atom has 14 electrons. The number of neutrons depends on the particular isotope.
What does the mass number tell about an isotope?
The number of protons and neutrons in the element
Can you tell me what there is in the nucleus.?
Inside a nucleus there are protons and neutrons
How can you tell how many nucleons are in an element?
total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
What does the atomic mass tell you?
It tells you the average amount of protons and neutrons within the nucleus of an atom. In other words, atomic mass - atomic number (protons)= the number of neutrons within the nucleus.
Which chemical element has 177 neutrons 77 protons and 77 electrons?
Atoms are defined by the number of protons in the nucleus; therefore, we can tell what element it is by the number of protons (the information about the neutrons and electrons is unnecessary). An atom with 77 protons is iridium.
What does the atomic number of an element tell you about its atom?
It would tell you how many neutrons make up the Nucleus of the atom.
What does the mass number of an atom tell you about the atom?
The mass number tells us the number (the sum) of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
What does an element's mass number tell us?
The mass number tells you the number of Protons and Neutrons in an atomic nucleus.
How can you find out the number of neutrons in an atoms nucleus?
By the process of elimination. For example, The atomic weight of an atom is just the number of its protons, and the atomic mass is the total weight of protons and neutrons in the atom. So, the atomic weight of Oxygen is 8(protons) and the atomic mass is 16(protons + neutrons) so we can tell that there are 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
What does the protons and neutrons tell you about the oxygen atom?
protons will tell the atomic number (8) the sum of protons and neutrons will give the mass number of the element
What does the atomis number tell you?
Is the number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number
What does the atomic number of silicon tell you about number of protons neutrons and electrons?
The atomic number of silicon is 14. This means that a silicon atom has 14 protons in its nucleus, and a neutral silicon atom has 14 electrons. The number of neutrons depends on the particular isotope.
What does it tell you about the nucleus of the carbon atom?
nucleus of carbon atom contains 6 protons and 6 neutrons.
