What are the subatomic particles of calcium?
Calcium has 20 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a calcium atom = Mass number - 20
How many neutrons calcium?
The number of neutrons is the difference between the Atomic Mass of an isotope and the atomic number of the element; each isotope of calcium has a different number of neutrons. See the link below for calcium isotopes.
What is the number of neutrons that calcium has?

How many neutrons does calcium-40 have?
Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 40 - 20 = 20 neutrons
How many neutrons are in a calcium ion?
it depends on the isotopes of calcium e.g. Calcium-40 has 20 electrons and 20 neutrons Calcium-44 has 20 electrons and 24 neutrons To find out the number of neutrons for Calcium you take the Isotope number (x) minus away the number of electrons (20) e.g. Calcium-x Calcium-x has 20 electrons and (x-20) neutrons.. OR you take the relative atomic mass (x) and subtract it with the number of electrons (20) (x-20) = neutrons
How manyneutrons in calcium?
A normal calcium atom should have 20 neutrons, but if it is an isotope the number of neutrons will change.
What is an element with 20 neutrons?
Calcium-40: The atomic number of calcium is 20 and the number of neutrons is always the difference between the atomic mass and the atomic number.
Why is there so much mass in calcium?
Calcium has a large number of Neutrons.
What is the atomic number for calcium?
The most common calcium isotope, calcium-40, has 20 neutrons.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in an atom of calcium-42?
Calcium has atomic number 20, which means that all calcium atoms have 20 protons in their atomic nuclei. Neutral calcium atoms also have 20 electrons. Isotopes of calcium vary in the number of neutrons in their atomic nuclei, and are named for their mass number, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. You can calculate the number of neutrons (N) in an isotope by subtracting the number of protons (atomic number) from the mass number. N = 42 - 20 = 22, therefore, a calcium-42 isotope has 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 22 neutrons.
How many protons does calcium 47 have?
mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons. 47 = 20 + neutrons, so neutrons equal 27.
What is the element that has 20 neutrons?
Several can. Perhaps you meant to ask which has 20 protons, in which case the answer is calcium. (Calcium is also one of the elements that can have 20 neutrons, but it's not the only one.)
