What else can I help you with?
If you know the atomic number and the mass number of an isotope how could you figure out the number of neutrons in its nucleus?
The mass number is the total number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus. The atomic number is the total number of protons in the nucleus. So subtract the atomic number from the mass number and that will give you the total number of neutrons in the nucleus.
The mass number is used to calculate the number of what?
The number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
Can the number of neutrons in the nucleus be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number?
Yes, the number of neutrons in the nucleus can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. The mass number represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, so by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons), you can determine the number of neutrons.

What element is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus?
All elements have neutrons and protons within the nucleus.
Total number of particles in the nucleus is called what?
There are two types of particles in the nucleus of an atom, which are the Protons and the Neutrons. The number of particles in the nucleus depends what is the element. For example, Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in the nucleus and Phosphorus has 15 protons and 16 neutrons in the nucleus.
How do you calculate the number of neutrons an element has in its nucleus?
You need to find the atomic number, and the atomic mass. The atomic number i the number of PROTONS in the nucleus, the atomic mass, or mass number, is the number of PROTONS and NEUTRONS in the nucleus. To find the number of neutrons you subtract the atomic number from the mass number.
How many neutrons are in the nucleus of a Chlorine atom?
A Chlorine atom typically has 18 neutrons in its nucleus. This is because the atomic number of Chlorine is 17, which represents the number of protons in its nucleus. By adding the number of protons to the number of neutrons, we can determine the total number of particles in the nucleus.
Mass number of nucleus?
The Mass Number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
Mass number - atomic number?
The mass number represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. The atomic number specifies the number of protons in the nucleus. The difference between the mass number and atomic number gives the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
Neutrons in the nucleus of an atom calculated?
Mass number minus atomic number = number of neutrons
How many neutrons are in the nucleus of curium?
Number of neutrons = Mass number of an isotope - 96
