Best Answer

them mass number of an element is the total amount of nuetrons and protons in the element , and the atomic number is the amount of protons ( and electrons) in the element

simply subtract the atomic number from the mass number and you'll have the number of neutrons in the element

hope this helped x

What subatomic particle makes the periodic table in the order of elements that it is in?

The order of the periodic table is made according to the atomic weights of the elements. The number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus make the atomic weight. Protons make the elements in order of the periodic table.


Where are the nuetrons found on the periodic table?

Neutrons are sub-atomic particles. The Periodic Table is an arrangement of the elements (atoms) made from these subatomic particles. Thus Neutrons by themselves have no place in the Periodic Table. However as all elements/atoms (except Hydrogen) contain some Neutrons, it is possible to find out how many using the information presented on the Periodic Table. The number of Neutrons present in an element/atom can be determined by subtracting the atomic number of an element/atom from its atomic mass.
