It varies depending on the atom but basically there are the same number of neutrons as there are protons. Helium has two protons, two electrons, and two neutrons.
The difference between the Atomic Mass and the atomic number equals the atom's number of neutrons. Consider hydrogen, for example. Standard hydrogen has no neutrons, just one proton. Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen with one neutron, and tritium (which is unstable) has two neutrons. Carbon 12 has six protons and six neutrons, but carbon 14 (which is unstable) has six protons and eight neutrons. As you move up the Periodic Table, nuclei tend to have more neutrons than protons. 92 U 238, for example, has 146 neutrons.
It depends on the atom itself. An oxygen atom might have eight neutrons (with eight protons) while uranium has 142 (with 90-odd protons). Its the difference in the atomic mass and atomic number for neutrons.
7 neutrons, 7 protons and 7 electrons in Nitrogen.

The atomic number (the number of protons in the atom). Neutral charge = 0 = (number of protons - number of neutrons). Therefore, number of protons = number of neutrons
7 protons, 7 electrons and 8 neutrons
Neutrons are "neutral;" they have no charge.
120(protons + neutrons) - 50(protons) = 70 neutrons
If the atom is neutral, then it will have 15 electrons to balance the 15 protons.
88
no electrons
The neutrons in the nucleus are neutral.
Neutrons
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.
Neutrons
neutrons
yes. neutrons are particles found inside the nucleus of a (neutral) atomno
False. The atom that has the same number of protons as it has electrons is a neutral atom.
The atomic number (the number of protons in the atom). Neutral charge = 0 = (number of protons - number of neutrons). Therefore, number of protons = number of neutrons
