Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - Number of protons (Atomic number)


What is the atomic number for isotope magnesium-125?

We can find Magnesium as a metal element. Atomic number of it is 12.


How can you dertermine the number of neutrons in a isotope?

Subtract the atomic number of the isotope from its atomic mass number to obtain the number of neutrons in an isotope.


How does the atomic number relate to the number of protons in an atom?

Atomic Mass (of an isotope) - number of protons (of an isotope) = number of neutrons (of an isotope)


What is the atomic number of isotope?

Well all Isotopes have the same atomic number so if you have the element the atomic number of an element with that same isotope is that same atomic number.


How many neutrons is in californium?

153 neutrons in the most stable isotope Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number. Atomic mass of the most stable isotope of Cf is 251. Atomic number of Cf is 98.


How do you find the number of neutrons in the nucleus of uranium?

Number of neutrons in an atomic nucleus = Atomic mass of an isotope - Number of protons in the nucleus For uranium the number of protons is 92; each isotope has of course a different mass.


How do you find the number of neutrons in an isotope?

Subtract the atomic number from the mass number. Example Carbon-12 an isotope with a mas number of 12. Carbon has an atomic number of 6 therefore carbon-12 has 6 neutrons.


How do you find atomic mass and mass number of isotope?

We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.


What is an isotope that has the atomic number 190 and mass number 78?

There is no such isotope. The highest atomic number is 118. The question is erroneous. The isotope platinum-190 has the atomic number 78, the mass number 190 and the atomic mass 189,959 932(6).


What is the isotope number of fermium?

The atomic number (not isotope number) of fermium is 100.


To find the number of neutrons is an isotope start with the mass number and what?

The mass number of an isotope is the number of neutrons and protons in the isotope, let this be p +n = (mass number). To find the number of neutrons you need the atomic number (number of protons), let this be p. You then subtract the two: mass number - atomic number = no. of neutrons p + n - p = no. of neutrons = n
