To figure this out look at the mass number of scandium. It has a mass number of 45(im rounding it up to keep it simple). The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons that form the nucleus added together. So if we know 24 of these 45 particles have to be neutrons then there must be(45-24)= 21 protons. To check this awnser we look at the atomic number(the one above the symbol for the element) and we can see that it is 21 for scandium meaning our awnser is correct.
The atomic number of scandium is 21. So it has 21 protons and 21 electrons. Number of neutrons depends on the isotope. Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number Sc-45 isotope has 24 neutrons
Scandium 49 has 24 protons because it is scandium (which has an atomic number of 21) plus 28 neutrons.
An element's core properties are determined by the number of protons. 21 protons makes this element Scandium. The number of neutrons that Scandium has is 23 in its normal state. It makes this an isotope of Scandium.
Scandium is a transition metal that is soft and silvery-white in appearance. It is a malleable and ductile element. Scandium has 21 protons and 24 neutrons.
Interesting question! Let us proceed slowly. Scandium has 21 protons per atom and 6.022 X 10^23 atoms per mole. 21 X 6.022 X 10^23 = 1.26 X 10^25 protons per mole of Scandium. 7.9027 grams Scandium (1mol/44.96g ) = 0.176 mol Scandium 0.176 mole Scandium X 1.26 X 10^25 protons Scandium = 2.22 X 10^24 total protons in 7.9027 grams of Scandium. ( you can put this all into one conversion string if you like )
21 protons and 24 neutrons in the only stable for. But there can be as few as 15 and as many as 39 neutrons.

Scandium 49 has 24 protons because it is scandium (which has an atomic number of 21) plus 28 neutrons.
Scandium's atomic number is 21. Therefore, neutral scandium has 21 protons and 21 electrons. Scandium's only stable isotope is 45Sc, which has 45 - 21 = 24 neutrons.

Scandium is a transition metal that is soft and silvery-white in appearance. It is a malleable and ductile element. Scandium has 21 protons and 24 neutrons.
chromium
There are 24 protons in Chromium (Cr). The atomic number of an element is the same as the number of protons.
There are 19 protons and electrons each. And there are 24 neutrons present.
The closest to 44 is Scandium, which has 21 protons and 24 neutrons, giving it a mass of 44.95591 amu.

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number = 54 - 24 = 30
