∙ 16y agoSilicon has 14 protons and 14 electrons, however Silicon has numerous known isotopes with mass numbers ranging from 22 to 44. These isotopes are caused by silicon having differing numbers of neutrons in its nucleus. (this is true for most elements). There is therefore no single answer to your question.
The stable isotopes of silicon are:
28Si (the most abundant isotope, at 92.23%) (Neutrons 14)
29Si (4.67%) (Neutrons 15)
30Si (3.1%) (Neutrons 16)
The Radioactive Isotopes are:
22Si (Neutrons 8)
23Si (Neutrons 9)
24Si (Neutrons 10)
25Si (Neutrons 11)
26Si (Neutrons 12)
27Si (Neutrons 13)
31Si (Neutrons 17)
32Si (Neutrons 18)
33Si (Neutrons 19)
34Si (Neutrons 20)
35Si (Neutrons 21)
36Si (Neutrons 22)
37Si (Neutrons 23)
38Si (Neutrons 24)
39Si (Neutrons 25)
40Si (Neutrons 26)
41Si (Neutrons 27)
42Si (Neutrons 28)
43Si (Neutrons 29)
44Si (Neutrons 30)

∙ 15y agoSilicon always has 14 protons and 14 electrons in each atom but the number of neutrons can vary from 8 to 30. This variation makes the 'isotopes' of Silicon. Silicon28 is the most abundant isotope (92.23% of all Silicon) and this has 14 neutrons.

What is the mass number of silicon with 14 neutrons?
Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. The atomic number of silicon is 14, so the number of protons in the nucleus of a silicon atom is 14. If the isotope of silicon has 14 neutrons, then the sum of protons and neutrons is 28.
How many protons and neutrons does a silicon atom have and where are these two types of subatomic particles located?
Silicon has 14 protons and 14, 15 or 16 neutrons in the stable isotopes found in nature. These are located inside the nucleus.
How many protons neuton and electrons does silicon have?
Silicon has 14 protons and 14 electrons. The number of neutrons varies depending on the isotope of Silicon, but on average, Silicon has 14 neutrons.
How many neutrons are are in the nucleus of one atom of xenon?
There are 77 Neutrons in the nucleus of one atom of Xenon
What has 14 neutrons?
Aluminium with atomic number 13 ie 13 protons has 14 neutrons within the nucleus. So its mass number is 27. Silicon too with atomic number 14 has 14 neutrons within. Why not? Even phosphorous with atomic number 15 has 14 neutrons. So it is an isotope that too radio active isotope. So it is very important to know about the number of protons to identify the element. But number of neutrons do differ leading to the formation of isotopes.
How many protrons and neutrons does silicon have in the nucleus?
How many protrons and neutrons does silicon have in the nucleus?
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in silicon where are each of these subatomic particles located?
silicon-28 as 14 protons and 14 neutrons in the nucleus and 14 electrons revolving around the nucleus
What is the total charge at the nucleus of silicon atom?
the nucleus of silicon contains neutrons and protons. neutrons are electrically neutral. The atomic no. of Si is 14, which means the Si nucleus contains 14 protons, so the charge at the nucleus of silicon atom is +14
The number of neutrons in the nucleus of a silicon atom are?
14
What is the mass number of silicon with 14 neutrons?
Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. The atomic number of silicon is 14, so the number of protons in the nucleus of a silicon atom is 14. If the isotope of silicon has 14 neutrons, then the sum of protons and neutrons is 28.
Silicon has how many neutrons?
Silicon has 14 neutrons.
What are the subatomic particles in silicon?
Silicon has 14 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a silicon isotope = Mass number - 14
How many protons and neutrons does a silicon atom have and where are these two types of subatomic particles located?
Silicon has 14 protons and 14, 15 or 16 neutrons in the stable isotopes found in nature. These are located inside the nucleus.
What would be the best guess of neutrons in the nucleus of Silicon?
between 14 an 16
How many Neutrons and electrons does silicon have?
Silicon has 14 electrons and 14 neutrons
How many neutrons are the in silicon?
In the most common isotope of silicon, there are 14 neutrons.
How many protons and neutrons and electrons are there in a neutral atom of silicon-28?
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.
