There are 14 neutrons.
Atomic Mass is the total amount of neutrons and protons that are contained within an atom's nucleus.
So, if you are given the Atomic Mass, proton count, neutron count, or electron count, then you can find out the approximate any of those values algebraically.
And remember that atomic mass has decimals since it is the average of all the element's isotopes.
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number = 28 - 14 = 14
A neutral atom of Silicon-27 contains 14 protons, just like any atom of Silicon (Si). Silicon has an atomic number of 14. The most abundant form of Si is Silicon-28, which has 14 neutrons. Silicon-27 has 13 neutrons.
The atomic weight minus the number of protons = the atom's neutrons.
28. Atomic mass - Atomic # (same as the number of protons) = number of neutrons
There are 143 neutrons.
Silicon atoms, atomic number 14, have 14 protons in the nucleus. The neutral atom then has 14 electrons. Silicon 28 the most common isotope of silicon has 14 neutrons in the nucleus giving a mass number of 28. The atomic mass of silicon 28 relative to carbon12=12. is 27.9769265325(19)

Silicon-29 has 14 protons (atomic number), 14 electrons if the atom is neutral, and 15 neutrons (mass number - atomic number).
Finding out how many neutrons are in a atom is easy. All you have to do is find the element's atomic number and atomic weight.

There are 143 neutrons.
Protons and neutrons each have an atomic mass of 1 So, 38-15=23 Neutrons
subtract the atomic number by the Atomic Mass, and that is the answer. if its a neutral atom, there are probably the same number neutrons as protons.
The number of neutrons depends on the atom. In general, mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons.
Silicon atoms, atomic number 14, have 14 protons in the nucleus. The neutral atom then has 14 electrons. Silicon 28 the most common isotope of silicon has 14 neutrons in the nucleus giving a mass number of 28. The atomic mass of silicon 28 relative to carbon12=12. is 27.9769265325(19)
