To find the number of neutrons in an atom, first find the atomic weight of the element and round that number to the nearest whole number. Then, find the atomic number of the element. Subtract that number from the atomic weight and the number of neutrons will be found.

What is the mass number of an atom that contains?
nucleons
What is the mass number for silver?
Mass number = mass of the nucleons= number of protons + number of neutrons= 47 + 61=108
Choose the element that is largest.?
The element with the largest number of nucleons is oganesson.
How many nucleons are there in magnesium?
24, it's the number of protons and neutrons, i.e. the number of sub-atomic particles in the nucleus.
How many nucleons does an oxygen with a mass number of 17 and an atomic number of 8 have?
There are no 'nucleons' in an Oxygen atom. You mean 'neutrons'. As all the mass of an atom is in its nucleus (made up of 'protons' and 'neutrons') and as the Atomic Number is the count of how many 'protons' there are, if you subtract the Atomic Number form the Atomic Mass, you get the number of 'nutrons'. 17-8=9.
Which are more stable nuclei that have an even number of nucleons or nuclei that have an odd number of nucleons?

Are more stable nuclei that have an even number of nucleons or nuclei that have an odd number of nucleons?

How many nucleons contain boron-11?
The "11" refers, precisely, to the number of nucleons.
The mass number of an atom is equal to?
the number of nucleons ,,
Is the difference between the mass number of an isotope and its atomic number is equal to the number of nucleons in the nucleus?
It is equal to the number of neutrons in the nucleus, not nucleons (which include both protons and neutrons.)
What is the mass number of an atom that contains?
nucleons
What do you find when you subtract the proton number from the nucleon number?
In chemistry and physics, a nucleon is one of the two particles that make up the atomic nucleus. Protons are one of the nucleons, Neutrons are the other nucleon.Thus by subtracting the number of Protons in the nucleus (the Proton number) from the total number of nucleons (the nucleon number) you will get the total number of Neutrons (the neutron number) in the atoms nucleus.
What does the atomic mass give you the number of?
It gives the number of nucleons = protons + neutrons.
What is the relationship between the atomic number and the number of nucleons an atom?
The atomic number of a chemical element is identical to the number of protons.
What is the mass number for silver?
Mass number = mass of the nucleons= number of protons + number of neutrons= 47 + 61=108
Mass number of elements?
The number of nucleons present in an element is equivalent to its mass number.
