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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

This element is tin; for the natural isotopes the number of neutrons is between 62 and 76.

Tin has various isotopes, with 10 stable isotopes. The most abundant isotopes are tin-120 and tin-118, both with 70 neutrons.
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.

Just as with any other element, tin has different isotopes, each with a different number of neutrons. Depending on the isotope, a tin atom can have between 49 and 87 neutrons. For more details, read the Wikipedia article on "isotopes of tin". If you don't know what an "isotope" is, you should read the article on "Isotopes" first.
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.
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).
The mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Since tin has an atomic number of 50 (which corresponds to the number of protons), an atom of tin with 70 neutrons would have a mass number of 120 (50 protons + 70 neutrons).
