60 neutrons.
Atomic number of palladium is 46. So there are 46 protons and 46 electrons. Mass number is 106. Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons. So number of neutrons = 106 - 46 = 60
The element platinum (Pt) has 78 protons in the atomic nucleus.
Pd (palladium) is the 46th element so has 46 protons. This means that (uncharged) it has 46 electrons. The atomic mass for Pd rounds to 106. Now atomic mass = protons + neutrons, so neutrons = atomic mass - protons. Therefore, neutrons(Pd) = 106 - 46 = 60. Meaning Pd has 60 neutrons.
The element with 46 electrons and 62 neutrons is Palladium (Pd), which has an atomic number of 46 and an atomic mass of approximately 108. Total number of protons + neutrons = atomic mass.
The complete symbol for this isotope of palladium is: [ \require{mhchem} \ce{^{231}_{91}Pa} ]
Palladium has 46 protons and electrons. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope of palladium - 46
Palladium-107 has 60 neutrons. This can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) from the mass number, which is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. For palladium-107, the atomic number is 46, so 107 - 46 = 60 neutrons.
Atomic number of palladium is 46. So there are 46 protons and 46 electrons. Mass number is 106. Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons. So number of neutrons = 106 - 46 = 60

Uranium has the most neutrons.
The element platinum (Pt) has 78 protons in the atomic nucleus.
Pd (palladium) is the 46th element so has 46 protons. This means that (uncharged) it has 46 electrons. The atomic mass for Pd rounds to 106. Now atomic mass = protons + neutrons, so neutrons = atomic mass - protons. Therefore, neutrons(Pd) = 106 - 46 = 60. Meaning Pd has 60 neutrons.
The element with 46 electrons and 62 neutrons is Palladium (Pd), which has an atomic number of 46 and an atomic mass of approximately 108. Total number of protons + neutrons = atomic mass.
The number of protons defines an element - the number of neutrons isn't needed to find the identity of the element. All ions and isotopes with 44 protons is ruthenium. However, with the information about the neutrons, we know the specific isotope: 101Ru.
Palladium has 46 protons. It has five fairly common isotopes.They are 104Pd, 105Pd, 106Pd, 108Pd, and 110Pd, which have 58, 59, 60, 62, and 64 neutrons, respectively.
