How many neutrons do the elemants have?

There are too many elements to list how many nuetrons each one has, but as a general rule of thumb you can subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the molecular mass number (Which is generally the number of protons and nuetrons added, since electrons weigh very little) to obtain the number of nuetrons For example, Carbon has an atomic mass of 12. Subtract the atomic number, which is 6, and you will get the number of nuetrons, which is also 6.

How many electrons and nuetrons are in magnesium?

Magnesium's atomic number is 12. Thus, to be electrically neutral, it must have 12 protons and 12 electrons. 24Mg is magnesium's most common isotope having 24 - 12 = 12 neutrons.


How many nuetrons are there in carbon-12?

There are 6 neutrons in carbon-12. Carbon-12 has an atomic number of 6, which indicates the number of protons in its nucleus. The sum of protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass of an element, so carbon-12 has a total of 12 nucleons. Subtracting the 6 protons gives the number of neutrons.


What is the number of neutrons in magnesium 24?

The # of nuetrons in any element is the Atomic Mass - the # of protons In this case the atomic mass was 24.3 minus the protons (12) equals 12


If an atom contains 11 protons and 12 electrons how many nuetrons does it have?

To find the number of neutrons, subtract the number of protons from the mass number (protons + neutrons). The mass number is not given, but you can estimate it by looking at the Atomic Mass Unit (AMU) on the periodic table. For Sodium (atomic number 11), the atomic mass is 23, so it would have 12 neutrons (23 - 11).


How many protons have magnesium?

How many nuetrons does the element sulfur have?

I don't have a periodic table, but round its atomic mass to a whole number and subtract the amount of protons which equal the atomic number. So if the atomic mass is 24 and the atomic number is 12, 24-12=12.- example
