Substract the atomic number (= number of protons) of Au (element) from the average Atomic Mass (= total number of protons and neutrons) of Au (mixture of isotopes, as been found in nature).
This will give you a good approximation of what you asked.
So:
-79 (p) + 197,0 (n + p) = 108 neutrons
Gold's atomic number is 79 and its atomic mass is 197 (on avarage) 197-79=118 neutrons.
the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.
the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes.
Neutrons = 10. Protons = 10. And electrons = 10.
This is the sum of all protons and neutrons in an atom. On the periodic table, it has the average for that element.
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 26 - 12 = 14 neutrons
The number of neutrons in an atom depends on the isotope. The most common sulfur isotope has 16. The average number of neutrons in an atom of sulfur is about 32.065.
The number of neutrons in an atom of mercury depends on the isotope. The most common mercury isotope has 122. The average number of neutrons in an atom of mercury is about 120.
Atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons that make up an atom. The neutron number is only the number of neutrons present in the atom. This can be found by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass.
Finding out how many neutrons are in a atom is easy. All you have to do is find the element's atomic number and atomic weight.
The number of neutrons depends on the atom. In general, mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons.
The number of neutrons can be calculated if the atomic number and mass number of an element is known. The number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number.
