How many protons are in an atom with atomic mass of 6 and mass number of 13?

The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. The mass number is equal to the total number of nucleons (both protons and neutrons). Therefore, there are 13 protons and neutrons, 6 of which are protons, leaving the remaining 7 to be neutrons. In short, 6 protons, 7 neutrons. You're referring to carbon-13, an uncommon isotope of carbon. Sharondenadel The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus.

What isotope of uranium has less than 3 neutrons?

None, no element beyond lithium can have a stable isotope with as few as 3 neutrons. If by some happenstance a uranium nucleus did form with as few as 3 neutrons (this would be U95) it would instantly burst apart in a flash of protons before it could even be detected.


How many protons and neutrons does polonium have?

The more stable polonium atoms have 125 neutrons. As with other elements, polonium atoms can have varying numbers of isotopes (variants with different number of neutrons).Polonium has 33 isotopes ranging from 104 to 136 neutrons.


What man made element has 148 neutrons?

There are a couple elements who could have isotopes with 148 neutrons. The most stable isotopes of both americium and plutonium have 148 neutrons.


What is the 150th element in the periodic table of elements?

After taking out my periodic table of elements, the closest i could find would be Californium, with 153 neutrons, Berkelium, with 152 neutrons, and finally Curium with 151 neutrons. This can be found by taking the atomic number of an element (which is the number of protons it has) and subtracting it from the elements atomic mass (which is the number of protons and neutrons added together). No element has a perfect 150 neutron number, but in its most stable isotope form Curium appears to be the closest.

It could possibly be a stable isotope of Beryllium


How many neutrons are in the nucleus of boron?

Boron has 2 isotopes and both are stable thus, depending on the isotope, an atom of Boron could have 5 or 6 neutrons in it nucleus. 10B has 5 neutrons (and 5 protons) 11B has 6 neutrons (and 5 protons) As about about 80% of all boron is 11B, most Boron atoms will be found to have 6 neutrons.


Why sodiium has11 protons and 12 neutrons not 11 protons and 11 neutrons in it?

It could have 11 neutrons. This would be a different isotope


Why don't protons get pulled into neutrons in an atom?

I might be able to answer better if I knew why you think this should (or even COULD) happen. In the Standard Model, both protons and neutrons are composed of three quarks (up, up, down for protons and up, down, down for neutrons). These arrangements are much more stable than any hypothetical six quark structure that would be produced by combining them.


Why do some nuclei found in nature give off alpha particles?

An element undergoing radioactive decay could expel an alpha particle from its nucleus. An alpha particle is made up of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. This could make it more stable by changing the ratio of protons to neutrons in its nucleus. Generally speaking, if the ratio of protons to neutrons is greater than 1:2.5, the nucleus is unstable, and you're probably dealing with a radionuclide.

What element has four protons four electrons and five neutrons?

There are too many electrons. This would be a negative ion of lithium-6 (stable but less common isotope) that does not occur naturally. The element with 3 electrons, 3 protons, and *4 neutrons* is lithium-7, the most common isotope. It forms a stable positive ion (2 electrons).
