The most common isotope of calcium (40Ca) has 20 neutrons. You can find this out by subtracting the number of protons (atomic number, 20), from the total AMU's of 40. About 96% of calcium on Earth is calcium-40.

Calcium also has eight other isotopes, 41Ca through 48Ca, five of which are radioactive. The second-most prevalent stable isotope is 44Ca which is about 2% of all calcium.

How many neutrons calcium?

The number of neutrons is the difference between the Atomic Mass of an isotope and the atomic number of the element; each isotope of calcium has a different number of neutrons. See the link below for calcium isotopes.


How many neutrons are in calcium -41?

There are 20 neutrons in calcium-41, which is determined by subtracting the atomic number (20, representing number of protons) from the mass number (41, representing total number of protons and neutrons).

How many neutrons are in a calcium ion?

it depends on the isotopes of calcium e.g. Calcium-40 has 20 electrons and 20 neutrons Calcium-44 has 20 electrons and 24 neutrons To find out the number of neutrons for Calcium you take the Isotope number (x) minus away the number of electrons (20) e.g. Calcium-x Calcium-x has 20 electrons and (x-20) neutrons.. OR you take the relative atomic mass (x) and subtract it with the number of electrons (20) (x-20) = neutrons


How many neutrons does Calcium - 45 have?

Calcium-45 has 20 protons (since it is calcium) and therefore, it has 25 neutrons, as the atomic number (number of protons) subtracted from the mass number (protons + neutrons) gives the number of neutrons.
