How is the mass number related to the number of protons and neutrons and atoms has?
The mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. It represents the total number of nuclear particles (protons and neutrons) in the atom's nucleus. The number of protons in an atom determines its element, while the number of neutrons can vary to create different isotopes of the element.
If an atom of element has a mass number of 271 and 161 neutrons in it's nucleus what is the atomic number of the element?
110. number of protons = mass number - neutrons = 271 - 261 = 110
What is the number of neutrons in the element sulfur?
The number of neutrons in an atom depends on the isotope. The most common sulfur isotope has 16. The average number of neutrons in an atom of sulfur is about 32.065.
Why do you think changing the number of neutrons does not create a new element?
Changing the number of neutrons in an atom affects its isotope but does not change its fundamental chemical identity. An element is defined by the number of protons in its nucleus (its atomic number), while isotopes have varying numbers of neutrons. Thus, changing the number of neutrons does not create a new element.
What subatomic particles can differ between neutral atoms of the same element?
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in the number of neutrons, which results in different isotopes of the same element. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons.
How do you figures out how many neutrons are in an an atom?
Finding out how many neutrons are in a atom is easy. All you have to do is find the element's atomic number and atomic weight.
How do you figure out how many neutrons are found in an atom?
Finding out how many neutrons are in a atom is easy. All you have to do is find the element's atomic number and atomic weight.
Isotopes of an element have a different number of?
neutrons
What are the element number of neutrons?
Number of Neutrons = Mass number - Number of Protons
What are atoms that have the same element but different neutrons?
IsotopesThe number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the element. The number of neutrons can vary. If two atoms of the same element have a different number of neutrons in their nuclei, they are isotopes of that element.
One isotope for a particular element is distinguished from another by the number of?
protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The number of protons determines the element, while the number of neutrons can vary to create different isotopes of that element.
What is the formula for finding the amount of neutrons in an element?
The formula for finding the amount of neutrons in an element is: Number of neutrons = Atomic mass number - Atomic number. The atomic mass number represents the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, while the atomic number represents the number of protons. Subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass number gives you the number of neutrons.
Does changing the number of neutrons affect what type of element it is?
No. You have to change the number of protrons.(Changing the number of neutrons changes the isotope of the element, but it is still the same element. However, changing the number of neutrons will often result in instability, causing a radioactive decay sequence, which often results in a change in element.)
What is the number of neutrons for a specific element equal to?
The average number of neutrons that a specific element has is equivilent to the element's atomic mass minus the that elements atomic number. For example Helium has 2 neutrons because its atomic mass (4) minus the atomic number (2) is 2.
What is the name number tells you the amount of protons and neutrons in an element?
Number of protons + Number of neutrons = Mass number(number of nucleons)
Does all the isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?
No, the number of neutrons vary, but protons and electrons are static among an element.
What is the number of neutrons in the element radium?
Radium has 138 neutrons.
