Glad you asked. Tin, which has 50 protons, has different "versions" that each have a different number of neutrons. We use the term isotope to denote the different versions of any element when we talk about that element's different nuclear configurations, its different numbers of neutrons. Some of these isotopes are stable and some are not. (Some elements have no stable isotopes - all their isotopes are unstable and undergo radioactive decay.) Let's check out tin.

Tin has more stable isotopes than any other element. There are 50 protons in every tin atom (which is what makes it tin), and there are isotopes of tin that have 62, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 72 and 74 neutrons which are all stable. There are some "gaps" in there, but there are isotopes of tin that "fill in the gaps" and also a lot of other isotopes, and they are made in the physics lab. There are isotopes of tin with from 49 to 87 neutrons, and they can all be seen by using the link to the table posted by our friends at Wikipedia. You'll find that link below.

you didn't answwer the question at all.

How many neutrons are in the nucleus of the isotopes of tin-120?

The isotope of tin-120 has 70 neutrons in its nucleus. Tin, element 50 on the periodic table, typically has 50 protons. By subtracting the atomic number (protons) from the atomic mass (protons + neutrons), we can determine the number of neutrons.


How many protons and neutrons in isotopes of tin?

Every atom of tin has 50 protons in its nucleus. And there will be 50 electrons around a neutral atom of tin. The number of neutrons varies because there are different isotopes of tin. Tin is interesting in that it is the element with the greatest number of stable isotopes of all the elements in the periodic table. It has 10 stable isotopes, and they are tin-112 (62 neutrons), tin-114 (64 neutrons), tin-115 (65 neutrons), tin-116 (66 neutrons), tin-117, (67 neutrons), tin-118, (68 neurtons), tin-119, (69 neutrons), tin-120 (70 neutrons), tin-122 (72 neutrons), and tin-124 (74 neutrons). There are other isotopes of tin ranging from tin-99 to tin-137, and the neutron count in any one of them can be found by subtracting the atomic number of tin (which is 50, or the number of protons in the nucleus), from the mass number of the isotop. For instance, if we are interested in tin-121, it has 121 minus 50 or 71 neutrons in it. You'll find links below for more information.


How many neutrons does an atom of tin 115 have?

All tin isotopes have 50 protons. For neutral atoms, the number of electrons will also be 50. The neutron number is 119 - 50, which is 69.


How many protons and electrons are in the tin IV ion?

The tin IV ion has 50 protons and 48 electrons. Tin has an atomic number of 50, so it normally has 50 electrons. However, since it is in the +4 oxidation state, it loses 4 electrons during ionization, leaving it with 50 protons and 46 electrons. The charge of +4 means it has 4 more protons than electrons, making the total number of protons and electrons in the tin IV ion 50 and 48, respectively.

What is the correct number of subatomic particles in an atom of an element with atomic number 48 and mass number 120?

The atomic number of an atom tells you how many protons are present in the nucleus. So there are 50 in the element. By the way, an element with 50 protons and 70 neutrons (120-50) is a stable form of Tin.

How many neutrons and protons does bronze have?

Bronze is an alloy typically made of copper and tin. Copper has 29 protons and tin has 50 protons. The number of neutrons can vary based on the isotopes of each element present in the alloy.


How many electrons are in tin - 118?

There are 50 electrons in a tin atom. Tin has atomic number 50, which corresponds to the number of protons and electrons in its neutral state.


If tin's mass number is 119 and its atomic number is 50 how many how many neutrons are in the nucelus of an atom of tin?

The number of neutrons in an atom can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number (protons) from the mass number. In this case, the number of neutrons in a tin atom would be 119 - 50 = 69 neutrons.


Is there 50 protons and 69 neutrons in the element tin?

The element tin, with symbol Sn and atomic number 50, typically has 50 protons. Considering protons + neutrons = atomic mass number, if there were 50 protons and 69 neutrons, the total would be 50 + 69 = 119, which is not the atomic mass of tin (approximately 119).
