There are from 134 neutrons to 153 neutrons in a plutonium atom, depending on which isotope of the element we are investigating. The isotopes 238Pu to 244Pu are arguably the most commonly considered. Use the link below for more information on isotopes of plutonium. There are quite a few, and Wikipedia has a good list.

How many solid phases does plutonium have and what are their properties?
Plutonium has six allotropes. For the properties see the link below.
How do you use uranium and plutonium to generate electricity?
Under nuclear fission with thermal neutrons uranium release an enormous quantity of energy (202,5 MeV per one atom of 235U); the obtained heat is converted in electricity. The same answer for plutonium (excepting the energy per fission).
How many electron shells in plutonium?
Electronic configuration of plutonium, ground state: [Rn].5f6.7s2
Why is plutonium radioactive?
No it does not. There are various types (isotopes) of plutonium. Plutonium 238, the weapons grade material, has a half life of 88 years. Meaning after 88 years half of the material has transforms into another element through radioactive decay. Plutonium-240 has a half life of ~80 Million years. But eventually all types of plutonium will decay into other elements. All radioactive elements will eventually decay into non-radioactive atoms given enough time.
How many neutrons does an mg2 ion have?
It has 12 neutrons.
How many neutrons does a plutonium 239 contain?
Plutonium-239 has 145 neutrons.
How many electronsprotons and neutrons are there in an atom of Plutonium 28?
Plutonium-238 has 94 protons, 94 electrons and 144 neutrons.
How many neutrons are in the nucleus in the element plutonium?
678
How many neutrons has plutonium?
Plutonium-239 has: 94 protons, 94 electrons, 145 neutrons.For other isotopes the number of neutrons is different.Number of neutrons = Mass number of an isotope - Atomic number of the element
What plutonium isotope has 144 neutrons?
This is the isotope plutonium-238: 23894Pu.
What is difference between plutonium 238 and 240?
Plutonium-238 has 144 neutrons, plutonium-240 has 146 neutrons. Atomic mass and half life are also different.
How many protons and neutrons in uranium 239?
The isotope plutonium-239, which is synthesized from uranium, has 94 protons (like all isotopes of plutonium) and 145 neutrons in its nucleus. Use the link below for more information on plutonium.
How many nutrons are in plutonium?

How much neutrons and electrons are in plutonium?
All the isotopes of plutonium has 94 protons and 94 electrons. For the number of neutrons of a specified isotope: number of neutrons = rounded atomic mass of the isotope - atomic number (or protons number) For plutonium-239: 94 protons, 94 electrons, 145 neutrons. The atomic number of plutonium is 94.
How many neutrons are in an atom of pu-246?
Pu-246 is Plutonium with an atomic weight of 246. The atomic weight is the sum of the protons and neutrons (the weight of electrons is negligible). The atomic number(number of protons) for plutonium is 94. Therefore, the number of neutrons is: atomic weight - atomic number or 246 - 94 = 152 neutrons.
What is the isotope symbol of plutonium with 146 neutrons?
This is the isotope plutonium-240: 24094Pu.
