The atomic number (number of protons) of the element is needed to tell the number of neutrons.
Mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons.
How many neutrons would it have if it had 11 neutrons? 11.
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number = 251 - 92 = 159
There are similar number of neutrons and protons. It contains 29 neutrons and protons.
Carbon 12 has 6 neutrons
No it is not the atomic number. We call it mass number.
The number of neutrons in one atom can vary depending on the element. Neutrons are one of the three main subatomic particles found in an atom, along with protons and electrons. The number of neutrons in an atom is calculated by subtracting the number of protons (atomic number) from the atomic mass of the atom.
The atomic weight minus the number of protons = the atom's neutrons.
Mass number = Atomic number (or number of protons) + Number of neutrons
How many neutrons would it have if it had 11 neutrons? 11.
6 neutrons
A stable magnesium atom has 12, 13 or 14 neutrons. The atom with 12 neutrons is the most common one.
For each isotope the number of neutrons is different. Number of neutrons = Mass number of an Tc isotope - 43
Finding out how many neutrons are in a atom is easy. All you have to do is find the element's atomic number and atomic weight.
To find the number of neutrons in an atom with an atomic number of 12 (which is the number of protons), you would subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass number. The atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the atom. For an atom with an atomic number of 12, the number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting 12 from the atomic mass number given for that specific atom.
subtract the atomic number by the Atomic Mass, and that is the answer. if its a neutral atom, there are probably the same number neutrons as protons.
No many elements have multiple isotopes with different numbers of neutrons. Every atom of a certain isotope has the same number of neutrons
An atom of 21Ne has 11 neutrons. This is determined by subtracting the atomic number (which is 10 for neon) from the atomic mass number (which is 21 in this case).
