The number of protons identifies this element as aluminum, which has an atomic number of 13. The number of protons is an element's atomic number on the periodic table. Every element has its own unique atomic number which defines it as that element.
The atomic number of aluminum is 13, therefore there will be 13 protons.The number of neutrons equals the mass number minus the atomic number. For aluminum-25, that will be 25 - 13 = 12 neutrons.There will be 13 electrons in the neutral atom of aluminum, regardless of which isotope we are considering.
The atom in question has 13 protons, so is atomic number 13, which is Aluminium. Assuming that all of the atom's mass is formed from the protons and neutrons, and each of these have atomic mass 1, the number of neutrons is 27 - 13 = 14 neutrons. Almost all Aluminium is of this isotope.
The only way I can make this question make sense is to assume you're trying to ask "how do you calculate the number of protons and neutrons in an atom?"The name or symbol of the element will tell you the number of protons (though, if you didn't already know that, you'll likely need to look it up on a periodic table). For example, a carbon atom has 6 protons.To figure out the number of neutrons, you'll need to know the atomic mass number. This is usually given either as a superscript to the left of the element symbol, or as a number following the name or symbol of the element (often separated by a dash). For example, "carbon 13" and "C-13" both have an atomic mass number of 13. If you don't see a number ... you're in trouble (unless the element is identified as deuterium or tritium; these have 1 proton and 1 neutron, or 1 proton and 2 neutrons, respectively). You can look up the atomic mass on a periodic table, but that will be an AVERAGE value. For example, the atomic mass given for chlorine will be somewhere in the vicinity of 35.453. That's because the two most common isotopes of chlorine are chlorine-35 and chlorine-37, in about a 3 to 1 ratio. You can't identify the number of neutrons unless you know specifically which isotope is meant.Assuming you do know the atomic mass number; it's also the number of nucleons. Subtract the number of protons from the atomic mass number, and what's left over is the number of neutrons.So: carbon-13 has 6 protons (because it's carbon) and 7 neutrons (because 13-6 = 7).
13 protons an easy way to remember what number of protons an element has is APES. A-atomic number, P-protons, E-electrons, S-same, so the atomic number and the numbers of protons and electrons are the same number
The element has 13 protons. So the element is aluminium. It has 15 neutrons (28 - 13 = 15) and the isotope is 13Al28
26 is the atomic mass because the number of protons and neutrons together = atomic mass
The number of protons identifies this element as aluminum, which has an atomic number of 13. The number of protons is an element's atomic number on the periodic table. Every element has its own unique atomic number which defines it as that element.
the symbol is Al and the charge is negative 3.
Aluminium, Al, has 13 protons.
it is possible for a particular element to have various numbers of neutrons
The atomic number of aluminum is 13, therefore there will be 13 protons.The number of neutrons equals the mass number minus the atomic number. For aluminum-25, that will be 25 - 13 = 12 neutrons.There will be 13 electrons in the neutral atom of aluminum, regardless of which isotope we are considering.
12 - 6 = 6 neutrons; the number of neutrons in an isotope is always the mass number minus the atomic number.
Sodium, Na, is the element that has eleven protons.
There is an error in the question - this is not an element as it would have an equal number of protons and electrons. 13 protons means it is Aluminum -12 electrons would mean it was Aluminum with one positive charge - which just does not happen. 17 neutrons would mean it is a heavy isotope of Aluminum Al30 - question needs to be rechecked and corrected
Aluminium is the 13th element, with an atomic number (of protons in the nucleus) of 13 and a mass number of 27 (number or neutrons + protons).
an element always has as many electrons as protons...... the Atomic Number equals the number of protons. So if your atomic number is 13......you have thirteen protons.....and therefore 13 electrons
