Neutrons are amotic mass subtract protons which would be 127 rounded up minus 53 giving you 74 !!
Most atomic of iodine has 74 neutrons. The atomic weight of iodine (126.9) represents the combined mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. Since the atomic number (53) represents the number of protons in the nucleus, subtracting the atomic number from the atomic weight gives the number of neutrons.
The mass number for iodine is 131, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons. Iodine has 53 protons and 53 electrons, if neutral. To find how many neutrons iodine has subtract 53, the number of protons from the mass number of 131. This shows that iodine has 78 neutrons.
126 atomic mass units. 53 protons 73 neutrons
Atomic weight/ mass = number of protons + number of neutrons
No. of protons=No. of electrons = Atomic number. No. of protons + No. of neutrons = Atomic mass.
you add the number of protons (the atomic number) to the number of neutrons
The mass number for iodine is 131, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons. Iodine has 53 protons and 53 electrons, if neutral. To find how many neutrons iodine has subtract 53, the number of protons from the mass number of 131. This shows that iodine has 78 neutrons.
Atomic weight in atomic mass units = the number of protons + the number of neutrons. The number of protons is your atomic number. Subtract that from the atomic weight for the number of neutrons.
126 atomic mass units. 53 protons 73 neutrons
Subtract the atomic number from the atomic weight.
because neutrons and electrons weight nearly the same, and electrons have such little mass that they are virtually insignifigant, the amount of neutrons can be found by subtracting the protons from the total weight. total weight-protons=neutrons(roughly) so in this case, the cobalt (atomic # 27) has 28 neutrons
No, the atomic number is the same number of protons and electrons. To find the neutrons, you subtract the atomic weight by the atomic number. Make sure to round the atomic weight as well.
Atomic weight/ mass = number of protons + number of neutrons
Subtract the atomic number from the atomic weight.
equal to number of protons
No, the atomic number is the number of protons that an atom contains. Atomic weight is the number of protons and neutrons.
Each isotope of an element has a specific number of neutrons (number of neutrons = atomic weight - atomic number).
Atomic weight of an element is the number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus, atomic number is the number of protons only.
