20 neutrons
The most stable isotope, calcium-40 has 20 neutrons.
Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 40 - 20 = 20 neutrons
An isotope of the element with 20 protons and 20 neutrons is calcium-40. Calcium has an atomic number of 20, which means it has 20 protons. The total number of protons and neutrons in calcium-40 is 40 (20 protons + 20 neutrons).
The number of protons in a calcium atom is always the same as the atomic number of calcium, which is 20. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope. The most common isotope is Ca-40. The number of neutrons is equal to the isotopic mass number minus the atomic number, in this instance, also 20.
Several can. Perhaps you meant to ask which has 20 protons, in which case the answer is calcium. (Calcium is also one of the elements that can have 20 neutrons, but it's not the only one.)
This element is calcium.
There are 20 p , n , e- in an atom of calcium. Its atomic number is also 20.
there are 24 stable isotopes in the element calcium.
The mass number of an atom is the sum of the protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Therefore, for an atom of calcium with 20 protons and 20 neutrons, the mass number would be 40.
The mass number of an atom of calcium with twenty protons and twenty neutrons is 40. This is because the mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
it depends on the isotopes of calcium e.g. Calcium-40 has 20 electrons and 20 neutrons Calcium-44 has 20 electrons and 24 neutrons To find out the number of neutrons for Calcium you take the Isotope number (x) minus away the number of electrons (20) e.g. Calcium-x Calcium-x has 20 electrons and (x-20) neutrons.. OR you take the relative atomic mass (x) and subtract it with the number of electrons (20) (x-20) = neutrons
Calcium-40: The atomic number of calcium is 20 and the number of neutrons is always the difference between the atomic mass and the atomic number.
