what is an isotope?
An isotope is a different form of an element's atom that does not change the identity of the atom. I believe that the isotope would be Oxygen-16 due to the Atomic Mass of such an atom.

∙ 12y agoThe most abundant oxygen molecule is the 16O, which has 8 electrons, 8 protons, and 8 neutrons.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes. The most common isotope of oxygen is oxygen-16, and the atomic number of oxygen is 8. The number of neutrons is the isotope mass number minus the atomic number, and 16 - 8 = 8.

Atom X has 9 protons 10 neutrons and 9 electrons Atom Y has 9 protons 9 neutrons and 9 electrons what best describes how Atom X and Atom Y are related?
The relationship is that Y is the negative ion and X is the neutral atome of the same element. Particle X and particle Y are both atoms, and are of the same element as the number of protons (atomic number) is 9. With the same number of neutrons they are both the same isotope. Particle X is electrically neutral so is a neutral atom, particle Y has a single negative charge and is an anion. Inspecting the periodic table for aelement atomic number 9 the element is fluorine, the isotope is fluorine-19 (the only naturally occuring isotope of fluorine), X is a fluorine atom, Y is a fluoride ion.
How many neutrons are in the zinc atom?
It depends on the isotope. Zn-64 and Zn-68 isotopes have 34 and 38 neutrons respectively.
What is the mass of the number minus atomic number?
The mass number minus the atomic number is the number of neutrons in an atom. The atomic number is both protons and electrons. Boron, atomic number 5, has two naturally occuring isotopes with mass numbers of 10 and 11, 10B, 11B. The number of neutrons in each is 5 and 6 respectively. The percentage occurence is roughly 20%, 80% respectively. This gives rise to the fractional atomic mass.
An isotope of mercury has 80 protons and 120 neutrons What is the mass number of this isotope?
The sum of the neutrons and protons is the mass number (A)In this problems,the answer for mass number of mercury isotope is:80 protons + 120 neutrons = 200
How many electrons are in an atom of rubber?
Rubber is a compex polyme. Natuarally occuring latex is polymerised and usually this reaction involvs sulfur or sulfur comounds that crosslink polymer strands to produce macromolecular structues such as car tires. The number of cabon atoms is impossible to give.
How many protons and neutrons does lithum have?
Lithium has: 4 neutrons 3 electrons and 3 protons --------------------------------------- There are two naturally occuring and stable isotopes of Lithium (Li): 6Li (which constitutes about 4% of natural deposits) and, 7Li (which constitutes about 96% of natural deposits). Both isotopes have 3 protons and 3 electrons. 6Li has 3 neutrons and 7Li has 4. The top answer is probably the one you are looking for.

How many nutrons does sodium have?
Sodium-23 the only isotope occuring in nature has 12 neutrons
How many electrons and isotopes are in a helium atom?
2 electrons. He-4 and He-3 are the two most occuring isotopes.
Static in static electricity describes what property of the charge?
The "static" in static electricity describes that the charge is unmoving, or staying in one place. A movement of electrons is not occuring, however there is an electrical charge. The opposite would be current electricity that flows, and that you would find in electric cords, etc...
How many neutrons does lanthanum have?
82 in the stable isotope 139 La which makes up over 99% of naturally occuring lanthanum. It has 81 in the stable isotope 137La which makes up <1% of naturally occuring Lanthanum.

How many neutrons does potassium have'?
The number of neutrons is entirely dependent on the Mass number of the particular atom. The standard mass for potassium is 39. Potassium is element number 19, so it has 19 protons and 19 electrons in the neutral atom. It has therefore 39-19 = 20 Neutrons.

It depends on the isotope. Zn-64 and Zn-68 isotopes have 34 and 38 neutrons respectively.
Which element has 87 electrons?
The chemical element with atomic number 57 is Lanthanum (La). It has 57 electrons in 6 shells. It is a Lanthanide, as it is what the rest of the Lanthanides are based on. It is naturally occuring and non-radioactive.
