Most molybdenum atoms have 54 neutrons. The atomic number (number of protons) of molybdenum is 42, and its weight (number of protons and neutrons) is around 96. 96 - 42 = 54.
The count of quarks in an atom of molybdenum would depend on the nuclide's mass number (A), or in other words, on which isotope. 3 * A = (quark count) since both neutrons and protons have 3 quarks each. The lowest we know about (Mo-83) would have 249 quarks, the highest (Mo-115) would have 345. Molybdenum-98 is the commonest isotope with (3 * 98) quarks.
Sulfur has 16 neutrons. To find out how many neutrons an element has you subtract the atomic number of that element by the atomic mass. omg thank you so much
How many neutrons would it have if it had 11 neutrons? 11.
Because they are much smaller than an atom
Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, but the proton is electrically charged and the neutron isn't. Electrons have a much much lower mass and an opposite electrical charge to that of the proton. That's about as simple as I can get it. It's by no means the only difference between them.
Molybdenum 98, a stable isotope, has 56 neutrons.
There are 54 neutrons in an atom of molybdenum-96. The atomic number is 42, so there are 42 protons. The neutrons make up the rest of the 96. 96-42=54.

54 or fifty-four.

54 A+
Technetium was created by bombarding molybdenum atoms with deuterons. Today technetium is produced by bombarding molybdenum-98 with neutrons
molybdenum has 13 protons and 13 electrons
All elements have neutrons and protons within the nucleus.
The neutral atom of molybdenum has 42 electrons.
Molybdenum-96 (not Mo-96) or Mo 96 42 has 42 protons and 54 neutrons. The atomic number is number of protons The mass number minus the atomic number is number of neutrons
For the commonest isotope there are 42 protons , 42 electrons and 56 neutrons. However, it has several naturally stable isotopes, they have, 50 neutrons, 52 neutrons, 53 neutrons, 54 neutrons, 55 neutrons and 58 neutrons. However, for all isotopes the number of protons and electrons remains the same, otherwise it would be a different element.
