Neutrons, like protons are considered to have a mass of about 1. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.
No. All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and, when neutral, the same number of electrons. They can, however, differ in the number of neutrons.
The Neutron- An element with the same number of protons and electrons, but with a different number of neutrons per atom than the original element is called an "isotope". An isotope will have, for all intensive purposes, about the same chemical and physical properties as the original element. Isotopes are written as the element, followed by a dash, then the number of neutrons in one atom of that isotope (Carbon-13 is an isotope of carbon with 13 neutrons per atom)
The element with atomic number 56 is Barium (Ba). Given the mass number of 137, it means there are 137 total particles in the nucleus (protons and neutrons combined), so the number of neutrons for this isotope of Barium would be 137 - 56 = 81 neutrons.
Isotopes are different atoms of the same element with the same number of protons (proton number) but different in number of neutrons. Given that nucleon number is equal to the sum of proton and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, isotopes have different nucleon number due to difference in number of neutrons.
Protons. All atoms of a given element have the same number of protons in their nucleus, which determines the element's identity.
isotopes of a given element differ in the number of neutrons they have.
Isotopes.
No - different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons. All atoms of an element will have the same number of protons.
protons plus neutrons = atomic number
its atomic numberthe number of neutrons
The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of that element; it will identify the element. The number of neutrons of a given element may be different as the element may have a number of isotopes.

No. All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and, when neutral, the same number of electrons. They can, however, differ in the number of neutrons.
It is the neutron that makes changes in atomic nuclei to change them from one isotope to another. For any given element, that element will have a fixed number of protons. It is, after all, the number of protons that determine the elemental identity. But the number of neutrons in a given element can vary, and we use the term isotope to talk about which particular atom we're investigating. That is, we apply the term isotope to speak to an atom of a given element with a certain number of neutrons in its nucleus.
The number of neutrons in the nucleus, the number of protons is the same for each isotope of a given element.
The Neutron- An element with the same number of protons and electrons, but with a different number of neutrons per atom than the original element is called an "isotope". An isotope will have, for all intensive purposes, about the same chemical and physical properties as the original element. Isotopes are written as the element, followed by a dash, then the number of neutrons in one atom of that isotope (Carbon-13 is an isotope of carbon with 13 neutrons per atom)
They are called as isotopes of the given element.
