How many protons does Tantalum have?

There is no such element as tantanium. I have seen the element tantalum sometimes referred to as tantanium, but this is incorrect. The element tantalum has 73 protons. Another possibility is that you are referring to the element titanium, which has 22 protons.


What element has 53 protons and 74 neutrons?

Tungsten has 74 protons and 74 electrons, but it has 110 neutrons. Tantalum has 108 neutrons, but 73 protons and 73 neutrons.


How many protons neutrons and electrons for 181Ta 5?

I'm assuming the symbol actually looks like this: 181Ta5+ If that's the case, it means that the mass number is 181, the element is tantalum, and the charge is +5. The atomic number of Ta is 73 (determined from the periodic table, see: http://www.webelements.com), so that tells it has 73 protons. The mass number if the # of neutrons + # of protons, so it has 181 - 73 = 108 neutrons. If it has a +5 charge, it must have 5 electrons less than the number of protons, so 73 - 5 = 68 electrons.


How many protons neutrons and electrons are in Tantalum?

Tantalum has 73 protons, 73 electrons, and isotopes of Tantalum include a varying number of neutrons. The most common isotope, Tantalum-181, has 108 neutrons.


What is the element that has the most protons of any element in group 18?

Radon (Rn) has the most protons of any element in Group 0 (18) with 86 protons. However, if or when Ununoctium is officially confirmed, that will become the element with most protons in that family, with 118 protons.
