Look at periodic table posted in related links (no links are allowed in the answer)

Find magnesium. There are two numbers (12 & 24.305). The larger one (24.305) is the Atomic Mass (average number of protons and neutrons). The smaller one (12) is the atomic number (number of protons).

Atomic masses of chemical elements are determined now by mass spectrometry.

What is the formula weight of MgSO4?

The formula weight of MgSO4 (magnesium sulfate) is calculated by adding the atomic weights of each element in the formula: Magnesium (Mg) has an atomic weight of 24.305, sulfur (S) has an atomic weight of 32.065, and oxygen (O) has an atomic weight of 15.999. Therefore, the formula weight of MgSO4 is 24.305 + 32.065 + (15.999 * 4) = 120.366 g/mol.


How many neutrons are in the atom magnesium?

Number of neutrons = Atomic weight - Atomic number (number of prtons) The atomic number of magnesium is 12; the standard atomic weight is circa 24,3. But magnesium has many isotopes (three are natural) and the number of neutrons is variable in the isotopes - from 7 to 28. The most common natural isotope, 24Mg, has 12 neutrons.

How many neutrons are in a atom of magnesium?

A magnesium atom typically has 12 neutrons. Magnesium has an atomic number of 12, indicating it has 12 protons which is equal to its number of electrons in a neutral atom. The number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass of magnesium, which is approximately 24.305 amu.
