Subtract the atomic number from the mass number. Example Carbon-12 an isotope with a mas number of 12. Carbon has an atomic number of 6 therefore carbon-12 has 6 neutrons.
Depending on the isotope. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of the isotope - 84
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - Atomic number of the element The atomic number of hassium is 108; each isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons and a different atomic mass.
Number of Neutrons = Atomic mass minus Atomic Number. Neutrons = 18[Atomic Mass] - 8[Atomic Number] Neutrons = 10
The isotope number and the atomic number can be used to calculate the number of neutrons. Consider carbon-14. The atomic number for carbon is 6 (i.e., the number of protons is 6). The isotope number of carbon-14 (i.e., 14 = protons + neutrons). Subtract the atomic number from the isotope number calculate the number of neutrons (8 for carbon-14).
Subtract the atomic number from the mass number. Example Carbon-12 an isotope with a mas number of 12. Carbon has an atomic number of 6 therefore carbon-12 has 6 neutrons.
Subtract the atomic number of the isotope from its atomic mass number to obtain the number of neutrons in an isotope.
In order to find the number of neutrons in the atoms of an element, you must specify the isotope that you are interested in. Isotopes are specified according to their mass number. For example carbon-12 is the isotope of carbon that has a mass number of 12, and carbon-14 is the isotope of carbon that has a mass number of 14. All atoms of the same element, regardless of mass number, have the same number of protons, which is the element's atomic number. To determine the number of neutrons in an isotope, you subtract the atomic number from the mass number. For example, the atomic number of carbon is 6, which means that all carbon atoms contain 6 protons in their nuclei. So, to find the number of neutrons in a carbon-12 atom, subtract 6 from 12, and you get 6 neutrons in the atoms of carbon-12. To find the number of neutrons in a carbon-14 atom, subtract 6 from 14, and you get 8 neutrons in the atoms of carbon-14.
12 - 6 = 6 neutrons; the number of neutrons in an isotope is always the mass number minus the atomic number.
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number Atomic number of Cf is 98.
153 neutrons in the most stable isotope Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number. Atomic mass of the most stable isotope of Cf is 251. Atomic number of Cf is 98.
The number of neutrons is never directly displayed.For a given isotope of an element, the "top number" (e.g. 14C or carbon-14) is the atomic mass number, the total of neutrons and protons. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the isotopes atomic mass number. Here, 14C will have 8 neutrons.
Each isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons: Atomic mass of the isotope - Atomic number = Number of neutrons
The number of neutrons is different for each isotope. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - 104
Depending on the isotope. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of the isotope - 84
It varies. The vast majority of carbon atoms have 6 neutrons, but there are isotopes with 7 and 8 neutrons.
