∙ 11y ago8 neutrons. It's Atomic Mass is 9 hence the boron-9 or 9B. It must have 5 protons to be a boron atom (if it had 4 it would be berillium and if it had 6 it would be carbon) an atom always has an equal number of protons and electrons ( unless it's an ion, eg Na+ ). Anyway to find the number of neutrons an isotope has simply subtract the number of protons (the atomic number) from its atomic mass, which in this case is 9. This gives you the number of neutrons present in the nucleus then obviously you just double it.

Boron-11 has 5 protons and 5 neutrons because its atomic number is 5, which determines the number of protons. The number of neutrons can vary in different isotopes of an element to maintain stability. In this case, Boron-11 has an equal number of protons and neutrons, making it a stable isotope.
A uranium atom typically contains 92 protons and around 146 neutrons in its nucleus, adding up to a total of approximately 238 particles.
Protons and neutrons are the two subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom.
The element oxygen has 8 neutrons. It has an atomic number of 8 and an atomic mass of around 16, with the atomic mass being the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge.
A boron atom usually has 5 neutrons.
a regular boron atom (5B11 isotope) has six neutrons and five protons
Boron-12 has 5 protons and 7 neutrons.
It has an atomic number of 5 and hence it has 6 neutrons.
Boron has 5 neutrons and 5 protons for its most common isotope
Boron has 2 isotopes and both are stable thus, depending on the isotope, an atom of Boron could have 5 or 6 neutrons in it nucleus. 10B has 5 neutrons (and 5 protons) 11B has 6 neutrons (and 5 protons) As about about 80% of all boron is 11B, most Boron atoms will be found to have 6 neutrons.
Boron has 5 protons and 5 electrons Boron has two stable isotopes, one with 5 neutrons and 6 neutrons.
Boron typically has 5 neutrons.
There are 5 neutrons in boron-10 and 6 neutrons in boron-11.

5 Protons, 6 Neutrons. For future reference, the protons is the atomic number (right above the element symbol) To get the neutrons you subtract the atomic mass (underneath the symbol) by the number of protons. You have to round this number.
The number of neutrons in a boron atom varies depending on the isotope. The most common isotope of boron, Boron-10, has 5 neutrons. Another isotope, Boron-11, has 6 neutrons.
