To find the number of neutrons in an atom you subtract the Atomic Mass from
the mass number
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons
You find the number of neutrons, N You find the number of protons, P Then the ratio is N:P.
The mass number of an isotope is the number of neutrons and protons in the isotope, let this be p +n = (mass number). To find the number of neutrons you need the atomic number (number of protons), let this be p. You then subtract the two: mass number - atomic number = no. of neutrons p + n - p = no. of neutrons = n
it is find it ur selfs!!
Find the atomic number. That tells you the number of protons and electrons (in a neutral atom). Then find the atomic weight. The number of protons plus the number of neutrons will equal the atomic weight. So if you know the wt. just subtract the number of protons and you will have the number of neutrons.
Neutrons = Mass number - Number of Protons
number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons
You find the number of neutrons, N You find the number of protons, P Then the ratio is N:P.
To find the number of neutrons in an atom, first find the atomic weight of the element and round that number to the nearest whole number. Then, find the atomic number of the element. Subtract that number from the atomic weight and the number of neutrons will be found.
Mass number = Atomic number (or number of protons) + Number of neutrons
Number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - Number of protons (Atomic number)
The mass number of an isotope is the number of neutrons and protons in the isotope, let this be p +n = (mass number). To find the number of neutrons you need the atomic number (number of protons), let this be p. You then subtract the two: mass number - atomic number = no. of neutrons p + n - p = no. of neutrons = n
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number
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.
