The atomic number is the number of protons an atom has (so 8 in this case). The atomic mass is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons (so 17 in this case).
helium
Atoms are defined by the number of protons in the nucleus; therefore, we can tell what element it is by the number of protons (the information about the neutrons and electrons is unnecessary). An atom with 77 protons is iridium.
Helium has 2 protons, 2 neutrons, and 2 electrons.
Boron (symbol B, atom number 5) is build up with:5 protons, 5 electrons and 5 or 6 neutrons, depending on the mass number of the two possible isotopes: B-(10) has 5 neutrons and B-(11) has 6 of them respectively.
Only carbon has 6 protons. Specifically, this is a neutral atom of the isotope 12C.
Boron is an atom or element, and it contains protons, electrons, and neutrons.
Manganese has 25 protons, 25 electrons and 30 neutrons.
Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons
Number of protons = Number of electrons = Atomic number Number of neutrons = Atomic number - Number of protons
Thorium (232Th) has 90 protons, 9o electrons and 142 neutrons.
In a regular sample of the element of gold, meaning no change done to it, then there will be 79 protons and 118 neutrons
An atom contain protons, neutrons and electrons; protons and neutrons contain quarks and gluons.
The element is krypton as it has 36 protons and the isotope is 36Kr86.
The element is Neon and the isotope is 10Ne19
A silicon-28 atom has 14 protons, 14 neutrons, and 14 electrons. The number of protons determines the element (silicon in this case), the sum of protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass of the isotope (28 in this case), and the number of electrons balances the charge to make the atom electrically neutral.
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.
Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.
