How many protons and neutrons does boron-10 have?

Answer 1

Boron-11 has 5 protons and 6 neutrons. This is because each element has a specific number of protons in its atoms that never changes. Boron atoms always have 5 protons. And when the number of protons (5) is subtracted from the mass number (11), the result is the number of neutrons (6).

Answer 2

All isotopes of the same element will have the same number of protons. Two particles with different numbers of protons will inevitably be different elements. The atomic number of boron is 5, meaning there are 5 protons in all isotopes of boron. The "11" in "Boron-11" is the mass number, which is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons. So if we add the number of protons (5) with the number of neutrons (unknown), we get 11. The unknown number therefore has to be 6, meaning there are 6 neutronsin Boron-11.

Answer 3

Boron-11 contains 5 protons and 6 neutrons.

Answer 4

5 protons, 6 neutrons because boron has to have 5 protons and the 11 means it has 11 protons and neutrons put together.

Answer 5

it has 5 protons and 5 neutrons.
