How do you determine protons electrons and nuetrons in an element?
Tansyhardimon
A Periodic Table is your best bet.
periodic tables can range in complexity but most will tell you the atomic number (located left upper corner) and the average Atomic Mass (right upper corner). with these two numbers you can work out protons and neutrons by realizing that the atomic numbers is = to # of proton and that because the proton and neutrons are ~1 amu in mass with electron have negliable mass
Average atomic mass - atomic number = # of neutrons
you will realize that this # is often not a whole number. that is because the same element (elements with same atomic number) may have different numbers of neutrons and the average atomic these are called isotopes. most elements will have a main isotope and some minor isotopes that makeup a same percentage of the total.
this is why you often see average mass of xx.99 like Cr which is 51.996 meaning that most of the isotopes will have a atomic mass of 52 (24 protons and 28 neutrons) and a relatively small percentage will have a mass of 51 (again 24 protons because it is still Cr but now 27 neutrons)
As for the number of electrons, this depends on what kind of chemistry the element is involved with. Just keep in mind that a neutrally charged molecule has the same number of + charges (protons) as - charges (electrons)

How many nuetrons are in the element phosphorus?
it however has 15 protons , 15 electrons , and 16 nuetrons
How many electrons protons and nuetrons are in the element tungsten?
protons= 74 neutrons= 110 electrons= 74
Do electrons determine what kind of element an atom is?
The number of protons determine the element. It is equal to the atomic number. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons only of the atom is neutral.
How many protons nuetrons and electrons are in argon?
Argon has 18 electrons and protons...Neutrons is 22
What element has 18 protons 20 nuetrons and 18 electrons What is its atomic number?
The atomic number of am element is determined by its number of either electrons or protons, hence here, it is 18. Therefore the element must be argon which the isotope has mass number 38, as there are 18 protons and 20 neutrons.
How many nuetrons does titanium element have?
26 nuetrons, 22 electrons, and 22 protons
How many nuetrons are in the element phosphorus?
it however has 15 protons , 15 electrons , and 16 nuetrons
How many nuetrons does the chemical element of chlorine have?
The chemical element of chlorine has 18 nuetrons,17 protons and 17 electrons
How many protons electrons and nuetrons in Sc-45?
Sc is a 3d element. It has 21 protons and 21 electrons.
How many protons nuetrons and electrons are in the element Boron?
5 protons 8 neutrons try it
Does an element have an electrical charge?
no it has a nutral charge because in the middle of protons and electrons there is nuetrons. nuetrons have a nutral charge and so does the atom.
How many nuetrons are in the element oxygen?
There are 8 neutrons in oxygen element because the no. of electrons are equal to the number of protons and oxygen element contain 8 electrons.
What does a element have?
An element has a small case in the center called the nucleus. Inside the nucleus contains protons an nuetrons. Protons have a positive charge and nuetrons have a negative charge. On the outside and are energy levels that have electrons and are negatively charged
How many nuetrons and protons in a nucleus?
protons and nuetrons are equal to no. of electrons present in atom
What is the very small particle of an atom?
Electrons, protons, and nuetrons. electrons are outside the nucleus, and protons and nuetrons are inside the nucleus.
How many electrons protons and nuetrons are in the element tungsten?
protons= 74 neutrons= 110 electrons= 74
What do the protons do?
The number of protons determine the atomic number of an element. There are the same amount of protons as electrons in a regular element.
