120(protons + neutrons) - 50(protons) = 70 neutrons
Boron has 2 isotopes and both are stable thus, depending on the isotope, an atom of Boron could have 5 or 6 neutrons in it nucleus. 10B has 5 neutrons (and 5 protons) 11B has 6 neutrons (and 5 protons) As about about 80% of all boron is 11B, most Boron atoms will be found to have 6 neutrons.
Silicon has 14 protons and 14, 15 or 16 neutrons in the stable isotopes found in nature. These are located inside the nucleus.
No, all isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (which determines the element's identity) and therefore the same number of electrons in a neutral atom. Isotopes differ in the number of neutrons they contain.
An atom's nucleus contains protons and neutrons, while electrons orbit around the nucleus. The number of protons defines the element, the number of neutrons can vary within isotopes of the element, and the number of electrons equals the number of protons in a neutral atom.
There are 8 isotopes of oxygen, with varying numbers of neutrons. The most common isotope, oxygen-16, has 8 neutrons. Other isotopes like oxygen-17 and oxygen-18 have different numbers of neutrons.
All the isotopes have a different number of neutrons in the nucleus.
It would depend on which isotope of which element. Different elements and isotopes of those elements do not have the same number of neutrons. Some have none, some have many.

Gold typically has 118 neutrons in its nucleus. This number can vary slightly due to different isotopes of gold that may have different numbers of neutrons.

A Chlorine atom typically has 18 neutrons in its nucleus. This is because the atomic number of Chlorine is 17, which represents the number of protons in its nucleus. By adding the number of protons to the number of neutrons, we can determine the total number of particles in the nucleus.
The atomic nucleus of technetium contain 43 protons and electrons.For each isotope the number of neutrons is different. Number of neutrons = Mass number of an Tc isotope - 43
The isotopes of an atom are defined by the number of neutrons their nuclei have for their fixed number of protons. However, I wouldn't say that neutrons are solely responsible for the presence of isotopes because isotopes also depend on the existence of many other particles such as protons, quarks and gluons. Neutrons certainly are responsible for the way we label isotopes, though.
Because chlorine has two natural isotopes (and isotopes have different number of neutrons) the total number of neutrons is 30 and 32.
The neutrons usually live in the nucleus of stable isotopes. Sometimes these guys go walkabout and leave home to visit other nuclei, especially if they are from an unstable home. If there are too many wandering neutrons in the neighbourhood all hell can break loose! JCF see also: nuclear fission

The mass number indicates the number of protons AND neutrons in the nucleus. Since the number of neutrons can vary, so can the mass number. The different versions of elements based on the number of neutrons are called isotopes. Sulfur-35 has an atomic mass of 35. So, it has a total of 35 protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Since sulfur always has 16 protons, then the number of neutrons in this isotope is 19. (35 - 16 = 19)
