The number of neutrons in an atom is not a constant. It is equal to or greater than the number of protons, and the number of neutrons changes the Atomic Mass number, as the proton number is constant. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Some are stable, some are unstable, some are radioactive.
What else can I help you with?
How many netrons are in a nitrogen atom?
In a nitrogen-14 atom, there are 7 neutrons, where the isotopes with mass numbers with 13 and 15, have 6 and 8 neutrons respectively.
How many neutrons would you expect to find in an atom of zinc?
zinc has mass no 65 and 30 protons so neutrons are..35
Where about in an atom would you find a proton?
You can find a proton in the nucleus of the atom along with neutrons.
What does the number of neutrons determine?
The number of neutrons in an atom determines the isotope of the element. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons. This affects the stability and nuclear properties of the atom.
Which pair below describes isotopes of the same element Aan atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons - an atom with 8 protons an 6 neutrons Ban atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons - an atom with 6 p?
The pair below that describes isotopes of the same element is B, an atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons-an atom with 6 protons. It is not A, an atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons- an atom with 8 protons and 6 neutrons. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, which is the atomic number of the element.
What is an atom that has varing numbers of neutrons?
A single atom that has varying numbers of neutrons is undergoing a nuclear reaction. However, the questioner probably meant, "What is the name for different atoms of the same element that have differing numbers of neutrons?", and the answer to that question is "isotopes"
Where in an atom do you find a neutrons?
you can find the neutron in the center of an atom.
What part of an atom do you find neutrons?
in nucleus of atom
How much neutrons and protons and electrons in a atom?
These numbers actually vary between atom to atom.
How many neutrons would you expect to find in a helium atom?
There are several isotopes of Helium and they have different numbers of neutrons. The simplest and most common is Helium-4 which has two neutrons
How many netrons are in a nitrogen atom?
In a nitrogen-14 atom, there are 7 neutrons, where the isotopes with mass numbers with 13 and 15, have 6 and 8 neutrons respectively.
Atom does not have to have equal numbers of protons and?
neutrons in order to be stable. The number of protons determines the element's identity, while the stability of the nucleus is influenced by the balance of protons and neutrons. Isotopes can have different numbers of neutrons while maintaining the same number of protons.
How do you find the neutrons for an atom?
Neutrons = Mass number - Number of Protons
How would an atom have a different weight?
The isotopes of the same atom would have differing numbers of neutrons.
Where would you find a neutron in a atom?
The neutrons of an atom are located in the nucleus (except hydrogen-1 isotope which has no neutrons).
Where in a atom would you find a neutron?
The neutrons of an atom are located in the nucleus (except hydrogen-1 isotope which has no neutrons).
In what part of an atom can you find a neutron?
Neutrons are found in the atom's nucleus.
