94 protons, 94 electrons, and 150 neutrons
All the isotopes of plutonium has 94 protons and 94 electrons. For the number of neutrons of a specified isotope: number of neutrons = rounded atomic mass of the isotope - atomic number (or protons number) For plutonium-239: 94 protons, 94 electrons, 145 neutrons. The atomic number of plutonium is 94.

most of an atoms volume is nothing, think of the atom as a football stadium, a football in the centre is the neucleus, electrons would be the size of peas in the very back row, the rest is empty space. on top of that the neclues is made of protons and neutrons, which spaces between, these necleons are made of quarks which also have empty space between them, the quarks are made of neons which again have spaces between. Many physicists believes this continues in this fashion.
Some applications of polonium:- polonium-beryllium neutron sources- neutron source for nuclear weapons (also mixed with beryllium)- radioactive heat source- devices for the elimination of dust from textilesIt can be alloyed with beryllium to provide a source of neutrons. It can eliminate static charges in textile mills.It is used on brushes to clean film, and can provide thermoelectric power in space satellites.Of course, it can also be used as a poison, as it is over 250,000 times as toxic as cyanide, and is very hard to find in a body.
94 protons, 94 electrons, and 150 neutrons
Since a nucleus contains from 1 (heavy hydrogen) to 150 neutrons, as well as up to 110 protons, the neutron is smaller.
92 protons 92 electrons, 125 to 150 neutrons depending on the isotope (natural or artificial). For the natural isotopes of uranium: Uranium 238 has: 92 protons, 92 electrons and 146 neutrons. Uranium 235 has: 92 protons, 92 electrons and 143 neutrons. Uranium 234 has: 92 protons, 92 electrons and 142 neutrons.
There are 88 neutrons in Samarium (Sm). This can be calculated quite easily: Neutrons=1amu Protons=1amu Since the atomic mass is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons, and the atomic number is the number or protons, you can simply subtract the mass from the atomic number to see how many neutrons are present. (Atomic Mas - Atomic Number = Number of neutrons) 150 - 62 = 88 (Note: The mass of Sm is slightly larger than 150 but for the purpose of time, mass is almost always rounded in calculations)
Protons = 92 Electrons = 92 Neutrons = 146 The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atom are each equal to the atomic number of the element (92). The number of neutrons equals the atomic weight minus the number of protons (238 - 92 = 146).Uranium has 92 protons, 92 electrons, and usually 147 neutrons, though another isotope has 143 neutrons.
Because the atomic number is 62, the element Samarium has 62 electrons and 62 protons. Since the number of neutrons is calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass, and Samarium's atomic mass is 150, it has 88 neutrons.
All the isotopes of plutonium has 94 protons and 94 electrons. For the number of neutrons of a specified isotope: number of neutrons = rounded atomic mass of the isotope - atomic number (or protons number) For plutonium-239: 94 protons, 94 electrons, 145 neutrons. The atomic number of plutonium is 94.
There are from 134 neutrons to 153 neutrons in a plutonium atom, depending on which isotope of the element we are investigating. The isotopes 238Pu to 244Pu are arguably the most commonly considered. Use the link below for more information on isotopes of plutonium. There are quite a few, and Wikipedia has a good list.
After taking out my periodic table of elements, the closest i could find would be Californium, with 153 neutrons, Berkelium, with 152 neutrons, and finally Curium with 151 neutrons. This can be found by taking the atomic number of an element (which is the number of protons it has) and subtracting it from the elements atomic mass (which is the number of protons and neutrons added together). No element has a perfect 150 neutron number, but in its most stable isotope form Curium appears to be the closest.
Differences in IsotopesThey have different numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass numbers.
Uranium has many isotopes and each isotope has a different number of neutrons (N). N = atomic weight of the isotope - atomic number of uranium (A=92) The number of neutrons of the isotope 92U238 is 238-92=146 and the number of neutrons of the isotope 92U235 is 235-92=143.
The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus. It determines what element you're talking about. Numbered from 1 to over 100. The mass number represents the total of protons AND neutrons in the nucleus. It is close to (not the same as) the atomic mass. Isotopes can have different mass numbers but belong to the same element (same atomic number). The number of neutrons (not having a special 'name') varies from 0 to over 150.
