an atom of an element that does not the comman number of electrons is an isotope. for example cabon-12(has 12 neutrons) is a very common element but carbon-14(has 14 neutrons) is much rarer
Lead has 125 Neutrons in each normal atom that is not an isotope.
Normal Hydrogen has an atomic number of 1, no neutrons and 1 electron.
A normal calcium atom should have 20 neutrons, but if it is an isotope the number of neutrons will change.
It is called an isotope.
An isotope of the element. The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
yes,because in isotopes neutrons differ from normal element.
A magnesium atom typically has 12 neutrons. Magnesium has an atomic number of 12, indicating it has 12 protons which is equal to its number of electrons in a neutral atom. The number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass of magnesium, which is approximately 24.305 amu.
All the isotopes have a different number of neutrons in the nucleus.
Its a normal atom if it have same protons, neutrons, and electrons to the one of the periodic table. If it have more or less neutrons than normal then its an isotope. If it have more protons than electrons then its a positive ion. If it have more electrons than protons then its a negative ion. An ion its a charged atom, more or less electrons than " normal " Isotopes its an atoms with the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons.
The formula for finding the amount of neutrons in an element is: Number of neutrons = Atomic mass number - Atomic number. The atomic mass number represents the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, while the atomic number represents the number of protons. Subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass number gives you the number of neutrons.
Ah, what a happy little question! Phosphorus-33 has 16 neutrons. Just imagine those neutrons snuggled up with the protons in the nucleus, creating a lovely balance in the atom. Remember, every element has its own unique number of protons and neutrons that make it special.
Number of Neutrons = Mass number - Number of Protons
