One should look up the mass number of an isotope of that particular element and then substract the atomic number from it: this leaves the number of neutrons.

Note that Atomic Mass is not the same as mass number!

How do you find the number of neutrons in a element using only mass and the element name?

To find the number of neutrons in an element, subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass number (rounded mass of the element). The atomic number can be determined from the element's position on the periodic table.


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.


What is the 150th element in the periodic table of elements?

After taking out my periodic table of elements, the closest i could find would be Californium, with 153 neutrons, Berkelium, with 152 neutrons, and finally Curium with 151 neutrons. This can be found by taking the atomic number of an element (which is the number of protons it has) and subtracting it from the elements atomic mass (which is the number of protons and neutrons added together). No element has a perfect 150 neutron number, but in its most stable isotope form Curium appears to be the closest.


How do you work out the mass number from the periodic table?

The mass number of an element is the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. To find the mass number on the periodic table, locate the element and round the atomic mass to the nearest whole number, which is the total number of protons and neutrons.


How do you find the number of atomic mass of an atom?

Look at the Periodic Table.

Where are the nuetrons found on the periodic table?

Neutrons are sub-atomic particles. The Periodic Table is an arrangement of the elements (atoms) made from these subatomic particles. Thus Neutrons by themselves have no place in the Periodic Table. However as all elements/atoms (except Hydrogen) contain some Neutrons, it is possible to find out how many using the information presented on the Periodic Table. The number of Neutrons present in an element/atom can be determined by subtracting the atomic number of an element/atom from its atomic mass.


What element on the periodic table has 48 neutrons?

An element with 48 neutrons would most likely be cadmium (Cd) on the periodic table. Cadmium has an atomic number of 48, which means it has 48 protons. Adding the number of protons and neutrons gives the mass number of an element.


What element has 44.96 neutrons?

To determine the element with 44.96 neutrons, we need to find an element with an atomic number close to this value. Based on the periodic table, an element with an atomic number of 28 (nickel) has 31 neutrons and an element with an atomic number of 30 (zinc) has 35 neutrons. Therefore, an element with 44.96 neutrons likely does not exist in the periodic table.


To find the atomic mass of an element you do what?

Add up all the protons and neutrons in the atoms nucleus. OR, look it up on the periodic table.


How do you find the atomic number of an element?

Look it up in "periodic table of elements" You can find the number of a particular element by looking at the Periodic Table; you can also do this by counting the number of protons in the nucleus.

What information about an element can you find on the periodic table of elements?

Using a periodic table, you can find an element's name, symbol, atomic mass, and atomic number. The atomic number tells you how many protons and electrons are found in the element. By subtracting the mass number by the atomic number, you can find the number of neutrons prevalent (varying in specific isotopes).

How do you find neutrons and protons on a periodic table?

Everything is made up of atoms. An atom is the smallest amount you have have of an Element (you find these on the periodic table of elements) The atom is made of a nucleus and shells. Inside the nucleus are protons and neutrons. And in the shells are electrons.
