One doesn't generally "calculate" the number of neutrons. The number of neutrons in an atom is always equal to the number of protons, and the number of protons can be found on the Periodic Table of Elements, which can easily be found on the internet or in a science textbook.

∙ 11y agoThe mass number of the given atom is equivalent to the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons. The atomic number of an atom equals to the number of protons in that atom. Therefore, the number of neutrons of an atom can be found by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number.

What is the number of subatomic particles for copper?
Copper has 29 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a copper isotope = Mass number - 29
What subatomic particle identifies boron?
Boron has 5 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a boron isotope = Mass number - 5
How many subatomic particles does radon have?
Radon has 86 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a radon isotope = Mass number - 86
If a hydrogen has 2 neutrons is it an isotope?
The number of neutrons in hydrogen depends on the isotope. Protium,deuteriumand tritium have 0, 1 and 2 neutrons respectively.
What are subatomic particles found in sodium and chlorine?
Sodium has 11 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a sodium isotope = Mass number - 11
How do you determine the isotope?
The atomic weight determines the isotope, which is determine by the number of neutrons.
What does the number of neutrons determine?
they determine the atomic mass of the atom
What determines the different isotopes from an atom?
The name of the element and the mass number (number of protons + neutrons) it is written e.g Uranium-235 or symbolically 235U
Why must you know both how many protons and how many neutrons an element has in order to fully identify it?
The number of protons determine what element it is, the number of neutrons determine what isotope it is.
What is the number of neutrons of californium?
For each isotope the number of neutrons is different.Number of neutrons = Mass number of an isotope - 98
How many number of neutrons does the isotope mendelevium have?
For each isotope of Md the number of neutrons is different.Number of neutrons = Mass number of a Md isotope -101
How can you dertermine the number of neutrons in a isotope?
Subtract the atomic number of the isotope from its atomic mass number to obtain the number of neutrons in an isotope.
What is the neutrons for technetium?
For each isotope the number of neutrons is different. Number of neutrons = Mass number of an Tc isotope - 43
