An isotope with too many neutrons can be unstable for example Hydrogen-3 is unstable while hydrogen-1 and 2 are stable. But so can one with too few neutrons, for example lead-204 is unstable while lead-206, 207, and 208 are stable.
There should be 17, since the atomic number is how many protons (of which there are the same amount of neutrons). However, if it is an unstable isotope, it would have more neutrons.
For each isotope of Rf the number of neutrons is different.Number of neutrons = Mass number of an Rf isotope - 104
Ununseptium, with the atomic number 117, has 117 protons and 117 electrons. Since it is a heavy and unstable element, the number of neutrons can vary depending on the isotope, but a common isotope of ununseptium might have around 176 neutrons.
It depends on the isotope. The most common naturally occurring isotope is 58Ni. Ni has the atomic number 28, so there are 30 neutrons in that isotope. There are four other stable naturally occurring isotopes with atomic weight 60, 61, 62 and 64. There are also around twenty unstable and radio-isotopes with atomic weights ranging from 48 to 78.
The stability of an isotope is related to its ratio of neutrons to protons because this ratio affects the balance of forces within the nucleus. Isotopes with too many or too few neutrons compared to protons may be unstable and undergo radioactive decay to achieve a more balanced ratio, leading to a more stable configuration.

The number of protons determine what element it is, the number of neutrons determine what isotope it is.
The isotope 293Uuo has 175 neutrons and the he isotope 294Uuo has 176 neutrons.
If the isotope existed, it would have 16 neutrons.
If the isotope existed, it would have 16 neutrons.
Cl-35 isotope has 18 neutrons Cl-37 isotope has 20 neutrons
Silicon's atomic number is 14. Therefore it has 14 protons and 14 electrons. The number of neutrons can vary by isotope. Most silicon is silicon-28 with 14 neutrons. There are stable isotopes with 15 or 16 neutrons. The unstable (radioactive) isotope is silicon-32 with 18 neutrons (half-life 170 years).
For each isotope of Md the number of neutrons is different.Number of neutrons = Mass number of a Md isotope -101
Every sodium atom has 11 protons, the atomic number of sodium. The isotope with mass number 23 has (23 - 11) or 12 neutrons, because the mass number of an isotope is defined as the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the isotope.
