The atomic number is 21: The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons, while the atomic number is the number of protons, designated n. From the statement of the problem, n+n+3 = 45, or 2n = 42, or n=21.
There are 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons in a Sulfur atom. *note it's atomic number- this is the number of protons in an atom of an element. There must be the same number of electrons to balance the charge. The atomic weight minus the number of protons gives you the number of neutrons
False. The number of neutrons is not equal to the atomic number. Neutrons are particles found in the nucleus of an atom and their number can vary, whereas the atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in an atom.
The sulfur atom has 16 protons and 16 electrons.The three stable isotopes of sulfur differ in their neutron number:Isotopes with mass number -32, -33 or -34 have 16, 17 or 18 neutrons respectively. The isotope with mass number 32 is the most abundant natural isotope.
Chlorine atom has 17 protons and 17 electrons. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope considered. Chlorine has four isotopes: Cl-35, Cl-36, Cl-37 and Cl-38 with 18, 19, 20 and 21 neutrons respectively. However out of these, Cl-35 and Cl-37 are the most stable isotopes.
Neutral lithium atoms contain more neutrons than protons. A lithium atom typically has 3 protons in its nucleus, giving it an atomic number of 3, and it usually has 4 neutrons which adds to the mass number of 7.
The atomic number of lithium is 3. Therefor there are 3 protons and neutron in the nucleus of lithium. Lithium also has 4 neutrons. atomic # = protons and neutrons neutrons = rounded atomic mass - atomic number Sources- 7th grade Acc. Science
Yes, and in order to find the Number of Neutrons, subtract Atomic Mass from Number Of Protons, the result will be the Number of Neutrons for that atom *No. Of Neutron=Atomic Mass - Number Of Protons
This atom has three neutrons. The atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons. All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons (lithium has three), so the neutrons have to account for the rest of the mass. 6 (the mass number)-3 (the number of protons in a lithium atom)=3. So this atom must have three neutrons.
The number of neutrons in one atom can vary depending on the element. Neutrons are one of the three main subatomic particles found in an atom, along with protons and electrons. The number of neutrons in an atom is calculated by subtracting the number of protons (atomic number) from the atomic mass of the atom.
There are 4 neutrons in a lithium-7 atom. Lithium, which has atomic number 3, has 3 protons in its nucleus. If its atomic number is 3 (which is the number of protons in its nucleus) and its mass number is 7, we can find the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number. In this case, 7 minus 3 equals 4.
Protons, electrons, and neutrons are the three main parts of atoms. In an atom, the nucleus contains the protons and neutrons, the electrons are found in shells around the nucleus. On the periodic table, the atomic number tells you the number of protons of an element.
The amount of protons is the same as the Atomic Number of the atom. Also the same goes for the amount of electrons. The number of neutrons in an atom would be the atomic mass minus the number of protons, neutrons, or atomic number. (it doesn't matter which of the three you use because they are all the same number) For example Titanium has an atomic number of 22, protons 22, and electrons 22. The atomic mass is 47, so to find the amount of neutrons you would take the atomic mass (47) minus the atomic number, protons, or electrons (22). So this would be your equation... Atomic mass - electrons (or whichever you choose) equals number of neutrons. So-> 47-22=25 neutrons.
- The atomic symbol is only an abridged form of the name of a chemical element. - The chemical symbol of neon is Ne; the atomic number is 10. - The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons. - Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - Atomic number
The mass number has to be greater then the atomic number because the mass number is the protons plus the neutrons. If you were to take 10-12 you would get a negative number of 2 and there can't be a negative number of neutrons!
the number of protons and electrons is equal. if there are 3 protons there are 3 electrons and the atomic mass is protons plus neutrons so to find them atomic mass - atomic number= number of neutrons
The atomic number is the amount of protons which will equal the amount of electrons. The average atomic mass minus the number of protons will equal the amount of neutrons.
There are 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons in a Sulfur atom. *note it's atomic number- this is the number of protons in an atom of an element. There must be the same number of electrons to balance the charge. The atomic weight minus the number of protons gives you the number of neutrons
