Find out how many protons (atomic number) and what the mass number of a particular element is. Then subtract the number of protons from the rounded mass number to get the number of neutrons in a particular atom.

Where are nutrons found in an atom?
Neutrons are in the nucleus.
The nucleus of an atom contains protons and?
nutrons
What atom number tells how many of these particles are in an atom?
The bigger number (Atomic mass) is the amount of protons (=same amount of electrons unless specified) and nutrons in an atom. The smaller number (atomic number) is the amount of protons only
What is difference between potassium atom and molecule?
an atom is a nucleus,[ nutrons and protons] and a number of electrons whirring around it. a molecule is a combination of two or more atoms to make something new
What is the osmium number of nutrons?
Osmium contains 114 neutrons.
How do you calculate nutrons?
neutron can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number of the particular atom from its mass number.
Where can you find a chart listing the amount of protons nutrons and electrons are in an atom?
All you need is the periodic table and a brain. The number of protons is the atomic number(located at the top left hand side of the square for each element) The number of nutrons is the the Atomic Mass minus the Atomic Number.
The nucleus of an atom contains protons and?
nutrons
Where are nutrons found in an atom?
Neutrons are in the nucleus.
Is the number of neutrons equal to the atomic number?
In an atom, the number of protons is always similar to its atomic number. (The number of nutrons may be similar or different.)
What atom number tells how many of these particles are in an atom?
The bigger number (Atomic mass) is the amount of protons (=same amount of electrons unless specified) and nutrons in an atom. The smaller number (atomic number) is the amount of protons only
What describes the nucleus of an atom?
a big ball of protons and nutrons
What is difference between potassium atom and molecule?
an atom is a nucleus,[ nutrons and protons] and a number of electrons whirring around it. a molecule is a combination of two or more atoms to make something new
How do you calculate the mass number?
mass number= protons+nutrons
How is mass number obtain?
Sum of protons and nutrons
The Subatomic particle of an atom with negative change?
that would be an electron, protrons are positive and nutrons you guessed it neutral
How many nucleons does an oxygen with a mass number of 17 and an atomic number of 8 have?
There are no 'nucleons' in an Oxygen atom. You mean 'neutrons'. As all the mass of an atom is in its nucleus (made up of 'protons' and 'neutrons') and as the Atomic Number is the count of how many 'protons' there are, if you subtract the Atomic Number form the Atomic Mass, you get the number of 'nutrons'. 17-8=9.
