Protons = Atomic Number
Electrons = Atomic Number
Neutrons = Atomic Mass - Atomic Number
*A note on Atomic Mass*
Atomic Mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Every time you remove or add a Proton/Electron or a Neutron, you change the mass by one.
*A note on Protons and Electrons*
The number of Protons and Electrons in an atom is always the same. Whenever you talk about adding/removing a proton or an electron, you are by default adding/removing one of the other as well.

Which particle determines the atomic number of an element?
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons.
how to get the number of neutron?
Mass no-the no of proton=no of neutron
What is a number of neutron in carbon?
6
Neutron number equals 44.96?
selenium
Does a neutron contribute to the atoms atomic number?
Nope, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
How do you determine an atom's mass number?
mass number= no. of protons + no. of neutron
What does the number of neutrons determine?
they determine the atomic mass of the atom
What does the neutron determine?
a neutron determines the atomic mass
Which particle determines the atomic number of an element?
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons.
How do you determine the number of neutron in any element?
Find the weight on the periodic table then subtract the proton numbers.
What if mass number is 7 how do you determine proton and neutron?
One way is to consult a copy of "The Periodic Table of the Elements". Great Q'n!
how to get the number of neutron?
Mass no-the no of proton=no of neutron
How do you calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom?
You calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom by : atomic mass - atomic number = neutron number. :) hope this helps
Can you always determine an element by the number of neutrons?
No, because some elements have Isotopes, with the same Proton number but different Neutron numbers. Sometimes therefore, the neutron number can overlap with that of isotopes of other elements. For example, two of Helium's isotopes share neutron numbers with two of Hydrogen's isotopes. Deuterium has 1 neutron, and so does 3He, Tritium has 2 neutrons, and so does 4He. It is the number of protons which determines which element it is.
What element has the neutron number of 30.69?
This is the weighted average neutron number for the naturally occurring isotopes of nickel, which has the atomic number 28 and the gram-atomic mass of 58.69. In an individual isotope, the neutron number is always the isotopic atomic mass number minus the atomic number, and the same principle applies to the weighted average neutron number for the naturally occurring isotopes of an element.
What is number charging?
Neutron has no charge.
What is a number of neutron in carbon?
6
