How many neutrons would it have if it had 11 neutrons? 11.
The atomic number (number of protons) of the element is needed to tell the number of neutrons. Mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons.
The major contribution to the mass of an atom is from protons and neutrons; electrons have a known but negligible mass.
Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number = 251 - 92 = 159
No it is not the atomic number. We call it mass number.
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.
Mass number!:)
The number of neutrons in an atom can affect the atomic mass of an atom.
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.
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.
For a zinc atom with a mass number of 66, the number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number (30 for zinc) from the mass number. Therefore, there are 36 neutrons in a zinc atom with a mass number of 66.
Mass number = Atomic number (or number of protons) + Number of neutrons
6 neutrons
An Osimum atom with mass number 188 has 118 protons (atomic number for Osmium). To find the number of neutrons, we subtract the atomic number from the mass number: 188 - 118 = 70 neutrons.
20. the mass of an atom is determined by the sum of the number of neutrons and protons the atom has.
No, neutrons + protons = mass
In one atom of mercury with a mass number of 200, there are 120 neutrons (mass number - atomic number = number of neutrons).
The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.
