If a nucleus contained no neutrons, there would only be protons all with a positive charge which would be very unstable. Neutrons help space out the positive charges and bind the nucleus together.

How many neutrons are in the element samarium?

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)
