there is amount of proton = amount of electron and the mass = amount of proton + amount of neutron so we take the mass - amount of pronton we will get the amount of neutron =20.8
Mass number is about the neutrons and protons. The total of neutrons and protons.
The "25" is the mass number, which is the sum of the number of neutrons and protons. We don't know how many neutrons there are, but we do know how many protons magnesium has. The atomic number of an element is the same as the number of protons, so locating a Periodic Table, magnesium is number 12, which means 12 protons. If mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons, then number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons (or atomic number). So 25 - 12 = 13 neutrons in 25Mg.
79; the mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons, and the atomic number is the number of protons. So if you take the mass number (protons + neutrons) minus the atomic number (protons), you get the number of neutrons.
Mass number!:)
The number of protons
18 protons and 18 neutrons
A carbon atom with a mass number of 12 has 6 protons (which is the atomic number of carbon) and 6 neutrons.
atomic mass number - protons = number or neutrons
The mass number of an element is equal to the sum of the elements neutrons and protons.
Uranium isotopes have 92 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons
84 protons, the same as the atomic number, and (210 - 84) or 126 neutrons. The numbers of protons and neutrons together equals the mass number.
The mass number for iodine is 131, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons. Iodine has 53 protons and 53 electrons, if neutral. To find how many neutrons iodine has subtract 53, the number of protons from the mass number of 131. This shows that iodine has 78 neutrons.
