... that each atom of lead contains 82 protons in its nucleus.
The atomic number for the Element Lead is 82.
lead number 82
209 since Lead is 82.
Mass number refers to a particular isotope of 82Pb.
82. Lead is an element with symbol Pb and atomic number 82. The atomic number relates to the amount of electrons of the element
... that each atom of lead contains 82 protons in its nucleus.
The element with 86 electrons, 125 neutrons, and 82 protons is the element Lead (Pb). The number of protons (atomic number) determines the element, and in this case, it is 82 for lead. The sum of protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass, which is 207 in this case, making it the isotope with mass number 207.
I cannot answer this question.
The atomic number for the Element Lead is 82.
Look on the periodic table for the element with the closest atomic mass to that number. It's lead (Pb, #82.) Now, for the neutron count, you round that atomic mass to the nearest whole number, which is 207, then subtract the atomic number of 82 from it. 207-82=125. So 125 neutrons.
Mass number is found by adding the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. Electrons are not added because they are so minute that their masses have almost no bearing on the total mass of the atom. In this case, the mass number would be about 214.
Element 82 is lead with the symbol Pb (from the Latin "plumbum.")
Not always -- Hydrogen-3 is radioactive, for example.
The answer to how many neutrons an atom of an isotope has is always the difference between the mass number of the isotope and the atomic number of the element. The atomic number of krypton is 36. Therefore, an atom of krypton-82 has 46 neutrons.
