For each isotope the number of neutrons is different. Number of neutrons = Mass number of an Tc isotope - 43
Adding the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom gives the mass number of the isotope.
The number of neutrons in an atom determines the isotope of the element. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons. This affects the stability and nuclear properties of the atom.
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of its protons and neutrons. If the atom has 2 neutrons, you would need to know the number of protons (which defines the element) to calculate the mass number. For example, if the atom has 6 protons (like carbon), the mass number would be 6 protons + 2 neutrons = 8. Therefore, the mass number of this isotope would be 8.
Atomic Mass (of an isotope) - number of protons (of an isotope) = number of neutrons (of an isotope)
The Atomic Mass is, basically, the sum of the protons (the "atomic number"), and the number of neutrons.
Every sodium atom has 11 protons, the atomic number of sodium. The isotope with mass number 23 has (23 - 11) or 12 neutrons, because the mass number of an isotope is defined as the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the isotope.
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 protons is equal to the number of electrons and the atomic number. The number of neutrons is different for each isotope (number of neutrons = atomic mass of the isotope [or mass number] - number of protons).
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in its nucleus. Always. The mass number of an atom is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in it. And that means an isotope of element 54 (xenon) that has 77 neutrons in its nucleus has a mass number of 54 + 77 or 131, and you'll have an atom of 131Xe. A link can be found below.
It is 3 because you have to add the neutrons and the protons.
For each isotope of Fl the number of neutrons is different (the number of neutrons is between 170 and 175). Number of neutrons = Mass number of an Fl isotope - 114
