Best Answer

You are looking for the symbol of cesium (Cs) and indication of its mass number. The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons. So if every atom of cesium has 55 protons, then the mass number of this isotope is 137. The mass number is indicated in superscript before the symbol: 137Cs

What is the number of neutrons in a cesium atom?

Cesium (caesium) has the atomic number 55 (55 protons).Virtually all naturally occurring cesium has 78 neutrons (Ce-133).Trace and synthetic isotopes of cesium can have 79, 80, or 82 neutrons.(134Ce, 135Ce, 137Ce)


How many neutrons do cobalt atoms have?

It depends on the isotope.


How many neutrons are in an atom of cesium 137?

In atomic form (as opposed to being an ion), cesium-137 has 55 electrons, just as all cesium atoms have.

How many neutrons does the isotope carbon have?

Most carbon atoms have 6 neutrons, but a small fraction of them have 7 neutrons (to make carbon-13 isotope atoms) or 8 neutrons to make carbon-14 isotopes. Radioactive carbon atoms with other numbers of neutrons can be made in nuclear reactions.


What is an isotope and how is it determined?

An isotope is any of the atoms of an element with different numbers of neutrons. It is determined by using the atomic weight,which is determined by the number of neutrons.


How do the atoms of carbon 12 and carbon 14 differ?

The isotope carbon-12 has 6 neutrons; the isotope carbon-14 has 8 neutrons.


What is a isotope apex?

Atoms of the same element that differ in number of neutrons


Confused over this chemistry question what is the isotopic symbol for an element having 12 neutrons where Z equals 10 wouldn't the element be Ne but doesn't Ne only have 10 neutrons?

Any atom with an atomic number of 10 is indeed neon. Most such atoms may have only 10 neutrons, but those with 12 neutrons are another isotope of neon. Since the mass number of an isotope is the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons, the mass number of this isotope is 22, and one way of writing its symbol is 22Ne.


What are the isotope of platinum which contain 118 neutrons?

To write an isotope you will write the mass number in the upper left-hand corner, then under it you will write the number of protons, then next to this you will write the symbol for the element.So...for the isotope of platinum that contains 118 neutrons:Protons (from the periodic table of elements) = 78Mass Number = neutrons (118) + protons (78) = 196Element symbol = PtAnd it will look something like this:196 Pt78


What is isotope and radio isotope?

Isotopes are atoms of a particular element with different numbers of neutrons. A radio isotope is an isotope that is radioactive because the nucleus is unstable.


Do different atoms of the same element have you identical number of neutrons?

The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
