To write an isotope you will write the mass number in the upper left-hand corner, then under it you will write the number of protons, then next to this you will write the symbol for the element.

So...for the isotope of platinum that contains 118 neutrons:

Protons (from the Periodic Table of elements) = 78

Mass Number = neutrons (118) + protons (78) = 196

Element symbol = Pt

And it will look something like this:

196 Pt

78

What is the number of neutrons in gold?

Gold (Au) has 79 protons in its nucleus. The number of neutrons in gold can vary depending on the isotope. The most common isotope of gold, gold-197, has 118 neutrons.


How many neutrons does a platinum atom have?

Platinum atom has 78 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is variable and depends on the atomic mass of the isotope (atomic mass of the isotope - atomic number = number of neutrons). The stable isotopes have 114, 116, 117, 118, or 120 neutrons.


How many protons neutrons and electrons are in Au?

For gold (Au), atomic number = 79, so it has 79 protons and 79 electrons. The number of neutrons can vary depending on the isotope of gold, but a common isotope, Au-197, has 118 neutrons.


How many elements are in Au?

Gold (the natural isotope 197Au) contain 79 protons, 118 neutrons and 79 electrons.


How many neutrons does the the common isotope of gold have?

Atomic weight is neutrons plus protons. If the atomic weight is 197, we subtract the number of protons which we know is 79 because that's what makes it gold, we get 118.

How is a isotope of an atom different than a non isotope?

An isotope is where an atom has a different number of neutrons than what it should be.e.g.Gold has 79 protons and 118 neutrons = 197 nucleons.But some gold atoms are strange they only have 117 neutrons.They are isotopes.


How many protons in platinum?

depends on isotope.For the most common isotope Platinum-195 (33.5%), there are the following fermions:electrons = 78protons = 78neutrons = 117quarks (inside protons & neutrons) = 585Total = 858Also at any given moment there are an indeterminate number of bosons being interchanged between these 858 fermions to hold the atom together with the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces:photons - electromagneticW & Z bosons - weakmesons - strong (between protons and neutrons)gluons - strong (between quarks)So even for an atom of one known isotope, the exact number of subatomic particles in it is unknown and cannot be known.
