What else can I help you with?
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
The mass number of an element is the number of?
Mass number is the atomic mass of a particular isotope (apex chem 5.3)
What is the number neutrons and protons in californium?
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number of the element The atomic number of californium is 98. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number of the element The atomic number of californium is 98.
Is the atomic number of an atom equal to the number of protons or neutrons or electrons in the nucleus?
The atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. It determines the element's identity and position on the periodic table. Electrons and neutrons can vary in number to form different isotopes of the element.
What information can you gather knowing the atomic number and mass of an element?
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.
How is the number of neutrons in an atom worked out?
they work because in every atom there is a neutron, electron and proton. the electron will tell you what the atomic number is and the neutrons and protons will tell you what element it is.
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.
Is there an element that has the same atomic number and atomic mass?
No, there is no naturally occurring element with the same atomic number and atomic mass. The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the masses of its isotopes, which have different numbers of neutrons. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in its nucleus, which determines its identity. Therefore, the atomic number and atomic mass are different for each element.
How do you find the number of neutrons AM element has?
To find the number of neutrons in an element, you need to know its atomic mass (rounded to the nearest whole number) and its atomic number. The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus, and since the number of neutrons can vary (resulting in different isotopes), you can calculate the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass: Neutrons = Atomic Mass - Atomic Number. For example, if an element has an atomic mass of 12 and an atomic number of 6, it has 12 - 6 = 6 neutrons.
How many neutrons dose hassium have?
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - Atomic number of the element The atomic number of hassium is 108; each isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons and a different atomic mass.
What is the formula for the atomic number?
atomic number = number of proton in an element number of proton = number of electron mass number = number of proton + number of neutron therefore... atomic number = mass number - number of neutrons
Isotopes of an element have a different number of?
neutrons
How many neutrons does and element of 16 have?
The number of neutrons in an element can be determined by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass number (which is the sum of protons and neutrons). For an element with an atomic mass of 16, if we consider the most common isotope of oxygen (which has an atomic number of 8), it would have 16 - 8 = 8 neutrons. Thus, the element with an atomic mass of 16 typically has 8 neutrons.
What equation is used to calculate neutrons for an element?
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number
When you subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass of any element you get what?
Atomic mass= Atomic no. + no. of neutrons So when the atomic no. is subtracted from the atomic mass, the result would be equal to the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom of the element.
How do you find the number of protons and neutrons in an element?
The number of protons in an element is equal to its atomic number, which is found on the periodic table. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass of the element.
Do the protons or neutrons Equal the atomic number?
The atomic number of an element is defined by the number of protons in its nucleus. Therefore, protons equal the atomic number, while neutrons do not; instead, the number of neutrons can vary among isotopes of the same element. The atomic number determines the element's identity, whereas the total number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) gives the atomic mass.
