Find out how many protons (atomic number) and what the mass number of a particular element is. Then subtract the number of protons from the rounded mass number to get the number of neutrons in a particular atom.

How do you calculate nutrons?

neutron can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number of the particular atom from its mass number.


Where can you find a chart listing the amount of protons nutrons and electrons are in an atom?

All you need is the periodic table and a brain. The number of protons is the atomic number(located at the top left hand side of the square for each element) The number of nutrons is the the Atomic Mass minus the Atomic Number.


Is the number of neutrons equal to the atomic number?

In an atom, the number of protons is always similar to its atomic number. (The number of nutrons may be similar or different.)


The nucleus of an atom contains protons and?

nutrons

What atom number tells how many of these particles are in an atom?

The bigger number (Atomic mass) is the amount of protons (=same amount of electrons unless specified) and nutrons in an atom. The smaller number (atomic number) is the amount of protons only


What is difference between potassium atom and molecule?

an atom is a nucleus,[ nutrons and protons] and a number of electrons whirring around it. a molecule is a combination of two or more atoms to make something new


How do you calculate the mass number?

mass number= protons+nutrons


How is mass number obtain?

Sum of protons and nutrons


The Subatomic particle of an atom with negative change?

that would be an electron, protrons are positive and nutrons you guessed it neutral


Where are nutrons found in an atom?

Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom along with protons. They have no electrical charge and help stabilize the nucleus by adding mass without affecting the atom's overall charge.


How do you find an element through its mass?

you would have to know how many protons, nutrons, and/or electrons are in the element. then you subtract the number from its mass and you get the other number. p=e=am.p+n=m.
