How do you calculate the number of neutrons an atom of a specific element has?
First, find its atomic mass on the periodic table and subtract the number of protons (element number) from it and there you go
How do you find neutrons and protons in an ion element for iron?
the protons will be the atomic number, in this case 26. The neutrons depends on which isotope. The most common isotope is iron-56, so that will have 30 neutrons. If the element is written in symbolic notation, the number on the top, minus the number on the bottom is the number of neutrons.
How do you find the number of neutrons in a element using only mass and the element name?
Look up the name on the periodic table and subtract the atomic number from the mass number (which is protons and neutrons). That will give you the number of neutrons.
Can you find out the number of electrons by adding protons and neutrons?
To find out the number of electrons in an element you must add the protons and neutrons and subtract that number with the atomic mass, this will determine the amount of electrons because the unknown element could be an isotope and have more than the normal amount of electrons of the non isotope element.
What is the difference between the mass number and the atomic number of an element?
The difference between the atomic number and the mass number is that the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element. The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the atom.Atomic number = number of protonsMass number = total number of protons + neutrons
What equation do you use to find the number of neutrons in an element?
Number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons
How do you find out mass number of an element?
Mass number = Number of Protons + Number of Neutrons
How do you find the mas number of an element?
The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons.
How do you find the mazz number of an element?
The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons.
How do you calculate the number of neutrons an atom of a specific element has?
First, find its atomic mass on the periodic table and subtract the number of protons (element number) from it and there you go
How do you find out the mass number of an element without knowing the protons and neutrons?
It is not possible.
How many protons neutrons and electrons does si-28 have?
Silicon 28 (28Si) has 14 protons, neutrons and electrons.
How do you find the number of nucleons?
To find the number of neutrons in an atom, first find the atomic weight of the element and round that number to the nearest whole number. Then, find the atomic number of the element. Subtract that number from the atomic weight and the number of neutrons will be found.
How do you find the mass number on an element?
The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus.
What element has 46 protons and 55 neutrons?
The number of protons defines an element - the number of neutrons isn't needed to find the identity of the element. All ions and isotopes with 44 protons is ruthenium. However, with the information about the neutrons, we know the specific isotope: 101Ru.

the protons will be the atomic number, in this case 26. The neutrons depends on which isotope. The most common isotope is iron-56, so that will have 30 neutrons. If the element is written in symbolic notation, the number on the top, minus the number on the bottom is the number of neutrons.
