Because the atomic number is 62, the element Samarium has 62 electrons and 62 protons. Since the number of neutrons is calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the Atomic Mass, and Samarium's atomic mass is 150, it has 88 neutrons.

Samarium is a good conductor for heat and electricity.
The symbol is Ba. The number of neutrons equal the number of protons.
There is 88 neutrons
There are 88 neutrons in Samarium (Sm). This can be calculated quite easily: Neutrons=1amu Protons=1amu Since the atomic mass is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons, and the atomic number is the number or protons, you can simply subtract the mass from the atomic number to see how many neutrons are present. (Atomic Mas - Atomic Number = Number of neutrons) 150 - 62 = 88 (Note: The mass of Sm is slightly larger than 150 but for the purpose of time, mass is almost always rounded in calculations)
88
This is the isotope samarium-147.
Samarium, with the chemical symbol Sm, is the chemical element with the atomic number 62.
Samarium has six electron shells.
Samarium is an element in the periodic table, atomic number 62, chemical symbol Sm.
The noble gas notation for samarium is [Xe] 6s2 4f6.

The atomic number refers to the number of protons in the nucleus. This is what dictates the atom's chemical properties. One proton, hydrogen. Two protons, helium, and so on. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons combined. Therefore, the number of neutrons in an atom of samarium (62 Sm 151) is the difference: 89 Samarium 151 is not stable, incidentally. It has a half life of 90 years, decaying by beta particle emission. What happens (essentially) is that one of those neutrons splits into a proton/electron pair. The electron is ejected from the nucleus. The atomic number goes up by one, but the mass remains the same. 62 Sm 151 transmutes into 63 Eu 151 (europium), which is a stable rare earth element.
