If an atomic number of an element is 6 and its mass is 14 how many neutrons are contained in the nucleus?

The atomic number always corresponds with the number of protons in the atom, therefore, since the atomic number is six, there are six protons in the atom.
Because the atom has no specified charge, you can assume that the charge is zero and that there are the same number of electrons as protons, also six.
The mass of an atom is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons because electrons are tiny. So, you know there is a mass of 14, subtract six from the protons and you get the neutrons (14-6protons=8neutrons)
Hope this helped!!

∙ 14y agoNumber of neutrons = mass no - atomic no = 14 - 7 = 7neutrons.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThe mass is made up of protons and neutrons and the atomic number is the number of protons. Therefore the number of neutrons is the Atomic Mass minus the atomic number, i.e. 14-8 = 6.

The atomic weight of an element is determined by what?
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus.
Is the atomic weight of an element is equal to the number of protons minus the number of neutrons?
Atomic weight of an element is the number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus, atomic number is the number of protons only.
What is the mass number for element A?
The mass number is the sum of neutrons and protons in an atomic nucleus.
Which of these is not a fundamental subatomic unit of an element protons nucleus electrons neutrons?
Protons and neutrons ar fomed from quarks and are not considered as fundamental particles; they are components of the atomic nucleus.
Where are the protons and neutrons found in an atom?
Protons and neutrons are normally found in the atomic nucleus.
If the atomic number of an element is 6 and it's mass number is 14 how many neutrons are contained in the nucleus?
The number of neutrons is 8 (carbon-14).
What describes the atomic number of an atom?
It is the number of protons contained with the nucleus, this defines which element it is. If the atom has neutral charge then it will also be equivalent to the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus.
Where is the neutrons located at on an element on the pt element?
All neutrons (of all elements) are located in the nucleus (as all ptotons are)
What is the atomic mass of an element with 4 protons 5 neutrons and 4 electrons?
4 protons 4 electrons 5 neutrons subtract the number of of protons from the atomic weight
What is the atomic mass in an element?
The atomic mass in an element is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of contained in one atom of that particle?
The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons contained in the atomic nucleus.
How do you calculate the number of neutrons an element has in its nucleus?
You need to find the atomic number, and the atomic mass. The atomic number i the number of PROTONS in the nucleus, the atomic mass, or mass number, is the number of PROTONS and NEUTRONS in the nucleus. To find the number of neutrons you subtract the atomic number from the mass number.
What is contained in the atomic nucleus?
Protons and neutrons, except in hydrogen which has just one proton.
When you subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass of any element you get what?
Atomic mass= Atomic no. + no. of neutrons So when the atomic no. is subtracted from the atomic mass, the result would be equal to the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom of the element.
The atomic weight of an element is determined by what?
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus.
What is the behavior of an element?
An Element's behavior depends PRIMARILY upon the Number of Protons in the Element's [atomic] Nucleus and secondarily upon the number of Neutrons that are included [with the occasional variation] in the Atomic Nucleus.
Is the atomic weight of an element is equal to the number of protons minus the number of neutrons?
Atomic weight of an element is the number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus, atomic number is the number of protons only.
