No, atomic number equals the number of protons.
The number of neutrons is NOT specific to an element, and various atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons - these are called isotopes.
The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom. In the case of a neutral atom (as opposed to an ion), the atomic number is also equal to the total number of electrons.
Silicon has 14 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a silicon isotope = Mass number - 14
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in its nucleus, which is also equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. Given that the number of electrons in oxygen is 8, the atomic number is 8. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, so for oxygen with 8 protons and 9 neutrons, the mass number is 8 + 9 = 17.
If you know the atomic no. and atomic mass, then the no. of electrons, no. of protons and no. of neutrons can also be determined. Atomic No.=No. of electrons = No. of protons. No. of neutrons=Atomic mass-Atomic no. Also, by no. of electrons you can determine its valency and the no. of valence electrons.
you cant get the # of neutrons if there is no atomic mass because you have to subtract the atomic # from the atomic mass #. so there is no way that u can find the # of neutrons without the atomic mass it is needed!
Protons, neutrons and electrons are located in the atom. The protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus; the electrons are around the nucleus, arranged in shells.
Neutrons and protons are placed in the atomic nucleus; electrons move surrounding this nucleus in clouds of electrons.
Neutrons and protons.
The protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus; the electrons are around the nucleus, arranged in shells.
Protons and neutrons are placed in the atomic nucleus; electrons are around the nucleus.
The atomic nucleus contain neutrons and protons.
Protons and neutrons are in the atomic nucleus; electrons are around nucleus.
Subatomic particles, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons, are located within the atoms that make up all matter. Protons and neutrons are found within the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit the nucleus in energy levels.
Protons and neutrons are normally found in the atomic nucleus.
The protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus; the electrons are around the nucleus, arranged in shells,
Subatomic particles are arranged in an atom with protons and neutrons in the nucleus at the center, surrounded by a cloud of electrons in energy levels or orbits around the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. The number of protons determines the element's identity, while the number of neutrons and electrons affects its stability and reactivity.
Atomic mass is composed of the mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons within an atom. Protons and neutrons reside in the nucleus of the atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus. The sum of the masses of protons and neutrons is the primary contributor to the atomic mass.
