To write an isotope you will write the mass number in the upper left-hand corner, then under it you will write the number of protons, then next to this you will write the symbol for the element.
So...for the isotope of platinum that contains 118 neutrons:
Protons (from the Periodic Table of elements) = 78
Mass Number = neutrons (118) + protons (78) = 196
Element symbol = Pt
And it will look something like this:
196 Pt
78

∙ 12y agoOn average, most gold atoms have about 118 neutrons.
Some gold atoms have more and some have less, these are called isotopes of gold.

How many neutrons does a platinum atom have?
Platinum atom has 78 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is variable and depends on the atomic mass of the isotope (atomic mass of the isotope - atomic number = number of neutrons). The stable isotopes have 114, 116, 117, 118, or 120 neutrons.
How many electron and protons and neutrons does gold have?
Gold has 79 electrons and protons, and 118 neutrons (in the isotope 197Au); other isotopes of gold have different numbers of neutrons.
Plutonium-196 has an atomic number of 78 It has neutrons?
Platinum is a metal element. atomic number of it is 78.
How many protons neutrons and electrons does ununseptium have?
protons 114 electrons 114 number of neutrons: atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number of the element; Uuq has many isotopes, each with a different number of neutrons.
How many neutrons does platinium have?
Platinum has 6 naturally occurring isotopes, all of which have 78 protons. The number of neutrons can vary, but the most common isotopes have between 116 and 118 neutrons. The full list of isotopes is:190Pt (78 protons and 112 neutrons)192Pt (78 protons and 114 neutrons)194Pt (78 protons and 116 neutrons) about 1/3 of all platinum195Pt (78 protons and 117 neutrons) about 1/3 of all platinum196Pt (78 protons and 118 neutrons) about 1/4 of all platinum198Pt (78 protons and 120 neutrons) about 1/14 of all platinum

How many electron and protons and neutrons does gold have?
Gold has 79 electrons and protons, and 118 neutrons (in the isotope 197Au); other isotopes of gold have different numbers of neutrons.
How many elements are in Au?
Gold (the natural isotope 197Au) contain 79 protons, 118 neutrons and 79 electrons.
What the ununoctium atomic structure ununoctium?
The isotope ununoctium-294 has 118 protons and electrons and 176 neutrons.
How is a isotope of an atom different than a non isotope?
An isotope is where an atom has a different number of neutrons than what it should be.e.g.Gold has 79 protons and 118 neutrons = 197 nucleons.But some gold atoms are strange they only have 117 neutrons.They are isotopes.
Plutonium-196 has an atomic number of 78 It has neutrons?
Platinum is a metal element. atomic number of it is 78.

How many protons in platinum?
depends on isotope.For the most common isotope Platinum-195 (33.5%), there are the following fermions:electrons = 78protons = 78neutrons = 117quarks (inside protons & neutrons) = 585Total = 858Also at any given moment there are an indeterminate number of bosons being interchanged between these 858 fermions to hold the atom together with the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces:photons - electromagneticW & Z bosons - weakmesons - strong (between protons and neutrons)gluons - strong (between quarks)So even for an atom of one known isotope, the exact number of subatomic particles in it is unknown and cannot be known.
Which isotope contains the greatest number of protons?
Atomic number is a measure of protons and electrons. extra or less Neutrons are what make an isotope and are not included in atomic number. therefore element with the highest atomic number will also be the isotope with the highest atomic number. on my periodic table it is lawrencium at 103. (note although this might have extra neutrons making it an isotope, it will always have the same atomic number - atomic number isn't what determines an isotope it is mass number) if you meant mass number (which is what determines an isotope), you can subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find out how many neutrons there are and determine whether it is an isotope or not
Do all atoms have the same nucleus?
No. Depending on the element and isotope atoms can have different numbers of protons and neutrons, ranging from 1 proton and no neutrons in hydrogen-1 to 118 protons and 176 neutrons in ununoctium-294.
How many neutrons does the the common isotope of gold have?
Atomic weight is neutrons plus protons. If the atomic weight is 197, we subtract the number of protons which we know is 79 because that's what makes it gold, we get 118.
