Best Answer

There are 19 known isotopes of americium, with neutron counts ranging from 136 to 154. Americium-241, the easiest to produce, has 146 neutrons.

Number of neutrons = Atomic weight (rounded) of an americium isotope - 95

Each isotope has a different number of neutrons.

Americium has also 95 protons and electrons.

It depends on the isotopes of Americium

e.g. Americium-241 has 95 electrons and 146 neutrons

Americium-243 has 95 electrons and 148 neutrons

To find out the number of neutrons for Americium you take the Isotope number (x) minus away the number of electrons (95)

e.g. Americium-x

So, Americium-x has 95 electrons and (x-95) neutrons..

OR

You take the relative Atomic Mass (x) and subtract it with the number of electrons (95)

(x-95) = Neutrons

Americium has 18 isotopes in the range of atomic masses 231 to 249; the number of neutrons is the difference between the atomic mass and the atomic number (for Am is 95).
