When we encounter any naturally occurring atom of aluminum (Al), it usually has 14 neutrons in it. In very, very rare cases, an atom will have 13 neutrons in it. This is without regard to which ionic form the atom of aluminum will take.

In the ionic form of aluminum noted by Al+3, we know that this is an aluminim atom with three of electrons "loaned out" to give it an overall +3 charge. This notation does not, however, tell us specifically which isotope of aluminum we are investigating. We can only "guess" based on the fact that there is only a trace of any aluminum with 13 neutrons in it while almost all the aluminum atoms we might consider have 14 neutrons in them.

How many neutrons does the element Al have?

The element aluminum (Al) typically has 14 neutrons. This can be determined by subtracting the atomic number (13) from the atomic mass (27) of aluminum, as the atomic mass includes both protons and neutrons.


How many electrons protons neutrons?

13 protons and 13 electrons as its atomic number is 13. Al-27 isotope has 14 neutrons.


How many protons electrons and neutrons does Al O have?

Aluminum has 13 electrons/protons and 14 neutrons.


How many neutrons are in A1?

How many neutrons are in A1? Look at a periodic table. Al is number 13, which means it has its nucleus ha 13 protons. The number 27 means it has a total of 27 particles in the nucleus. Do a little subtraction and you will discover Al's nucleus has 14 neutrons. 13 + 14 = 27.!!


Which is the nuclide notation for an atom with 13 protons and 5 neutrons?

The nuclide notation for an atom with 13 protons and 5 neutrons is (^{18}_{13}Al), where the superscript is the sum of protons and neutrons (18) and the subscript is the atomic number (13) for the element aluminum (Al).

How many protons electrons?

13 protons and 13 electrons as its atomic number is 13. Al-27 isotope has 14 neutrons.


What is the oxidation half-reaction of 3Ag Al 3Ag Al3?

Al and AgNO3. Al has a 3plus charge plus 3e negative. 3(Ag positive plus le negative equals Ag). Al plus 3Ag plus is equal to Al with a 3 plus charge plus 3Ag.


Which element have 13 neutrons?

Sodium-24, magnesium-25 and aluminium-26 atoms have 13 neutrons each.


How many neutrons would an aluminum atom have?

In the Periodic Table aluminium is described as [27/13]Al 27 is the atomic mass ; the total of all the neutrons protons (nucleons) 13 is the atomic number ; the total of all the protons in the nucleus. Hencethe total neutrons is the mass subtracted from the number. 27 - 13 = 14 is the total number of neutrons in aluminium.


Which symbol represents an atom with 13 protons 17 neutrons and 12 electrons?

There is an error in the question - this is not an element as it would have an equal number of protons and electrons. 13 protons means it is Aluminum -12 electrons would mean it was Aluminum with one positive charge - which just does not happen. 17 neutrons would mean it is a heavy isotope of Aluminum Al30 - question needs to be rechecked and corrected


In Adam that has 13 protons and 15 neutrons is an isotope of what element?

13 protons means it must be aluminum (Al). 15 neutrons means its atomic mass will be 28. This is not aluminum's most abundant isotope, but it is still aluminum.
