In order to find the number of neutrons in the atoms of an element, you must specify the isotope that you are interested in. Isotopes are specified according to their mass number. For example carbon-12 is the isotope of carbon that has a mass number of 12, and carbon-14 is the isotope of carbon that has a mass number of 14. All atoms of the same element, regardless of mass number, have the same number of protons, which is the element's atomic number. To determine the number of neutrons in an isotope, you subtract the atomic number from the mass number. For example, the atomic number of carbon is 6, which means that all carbon atoms contain 6 protons in their nuclei. So, to find the number of neutrons in a carbon-12 atom, subtract 6 from 12, and you get 6 neutrons in the atoms of carbon-12. To find the number of neutrons in a carbon-14 atom, subtract 6 from 14, and you get 8 neutrons in the atoms of carbon-14.

How do you find the number of nucleons?
To find the number of nucleons in an atom, you add the number of protons and the number of neutrons together. Nucleons are the collective term for protons and neutrons found in the nucleus of an atom.
What would you do if you wanted to know the number of neutrons in an atom of a given element?
To find the number of neutrons in an atom of a given element, you would typically subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass of the element. The atomic mass is usually represented as the decimal number on the periodic table for each element.
If an element has a mass number of 244 and an atomic number of 94 how many neutrons does the element have?
To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass number. In this case, you would calculate 244 - 94 = 150 neutrons.
What element has 44.96 neutrons?
To determine the element with 44.96 neutrons, we need to find an element with an atomic number close to this value. Based on the periodic table, an element with an atomic number of 28 (nickel) has 31 neutrons and an element with an atomic number of 30 (zinc) has 35 neutrons. Therefore, an element with 44.96 neutrons likely does not exist in the periodic table.
Isotopes of an element have a different number of?
neutrons
How many neutrons does suflur have?
Sulfur has 16 neutrons. To find out how many neutrons an element has you subtract the atomic number of that element by the atomic mass. omg thank you so much
How do you find the number of protons and neutrons in an element?
The number of protons in an element is equal to its atomic number, which is found on the periodic table. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass of the element.
What equation do you use to find the number of neutrons in an element?
Number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons
How do you find the number of neutrons in a element using only mass and the element name?
To find the number of neutrons in an element, subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass number (rounded mass of the element). The atomic number can be determined from the element's position on the periodic table.
How do you find the number of nucleons?
To find the number of nucleons in an atom, you add the number of protons and the number of neutrons together. Nucleons are the collective term for protons and neutrons found in the nucleus of an atom.
Finding the number of neutrons in an element?
To find the number of neutrons in an element, subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the mass number (sum of protons and neutrons). Neutrons do not carry a charge and help stabilize the nucleus of an atom.
Where do you find the neutrons on the element?
Neutrons are found in the atomic nucleus of an element, along with protons. They have no electrical charge and help stabilize the nucleus. The number of neutrons in an element can vary, leading to different isotopes.
How do you find out the mass number of an element without knowing the protons and neutrons?
It is not possible.
How do you find the mazz number of an element?
The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons.
How do you find the mas number of an element?
The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons.
How do you find the atomic mass of an element if you don't know the number of neutrons?
It is not possible.
How many neutrons are in the element gold?
There are 118 neutrons in the element gold.
