The atomic number of a chemical element is equal to the number of electrons or protons.
The number of neutrons = Atomic weight of an isotope (rounded) - atomic number of the element (or the number of protons)

How many neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom of argon-42?
Neutrons = 24 Protons = 18 Electrons = 18
What are the two particles called in the centre of an atom?
Nucleus (and it consists of protons and neutrons).
Does a neutron atom have as many neutrons as electrons?
There is no such thing as a neutron atom. A neuton is a particle that exists within the nucleus of an atom.
Every atom is made up of how many parts?
Every atom consists of sub-atomic particles called which neutrons, protons and electrons. Electrons revolve around the nucleus and protons and neutrons stay inside the nucleus.
What are the locations of the subatomic particles in an atom?
Neutrons and protons are bound together in the nucleus at the center of the atom; electrons occupy various orbitals or energy levels outside and around the nucleus. Neutrons are neutral or have no charge, protons have a positive charge; electrons a negative charge.
How would you describe the nucleus of the atom?
the nucleus is the control center of the entire atom the nucleus of an atom has 3 basic subatomic particles: -the electrons which orbit the outside of the nucleus, electrons have a negative charge -the protons which are inside the nucleus and have a positive charge -neutrons which are also inside the nucleus have a neutral charge because they are neither positive nor are they negative something you need to know about protons and neutrons: the mass of the atom equals the protons plus neutrons and the atomic number of an atom tells how many protons are in an atom really being in the nucleus. The nucleus of an atom can best be described as the part of the atom with the biggest mass. It contains an atom's protons and neutrons.
How do you make a 3D model of vanadium?
you will need to know how many protons, neutrons and electrons your vanadium atom has. The nucleus, the central part of the atom, all of your atom's protons and neutrons go in the nucleus, The electrons are found outside the nucleus. Depending on which model of atomic structure (Planetary Model, Bohr Model) your are studying your electrons will be placed.
Neutral atom with 53 protons in its nucleus would have how many electrons orbiting the nucleus?
For a standard atom, the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons is the same. For example: 2 Protons - 2 Neutrons - 2 Electrons Helium 3 Protons - 3 Neutrons - 3 Electrons Lithium 4 Protons - 4 Neutrons - 4 Electrons Beryllium So... 53 Protons - 53 Neutrons - 53 Electrons Iodine
How many neutrons are in the nucleus of the isotopes of tin-120?
120(protons + neutrons) - 50(protons) = 70 neutrons
How many particles are found in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
how many particles are found in the nucleus of a uranium atom? 92 protons and x neutrons; the number of the neutrons is dependent of the isotope atomic mass. Also 92 electrons.
How many electrons surround the nucleus of a neutral atom of the isotope 180 of oxygen?
O-18 atom has 8 protons, 8 electrons and 10 neutrons.
What are two differences between the nucleus of an atom and the electrons of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom has a positive electrical charge, the electrons have a negative electrical charge, and the nucleus is thousands of times heavier than the electrons (the exact ratio of weight varies, because although there are always as many protons as electrons, in a neutral atom, the number of neutrons varies).
