How many neutrons are in nickel Ni?

Answer 1

If you're asking about a nickel atom, it depends on the isotope. In the case of the most common isotope, the answer would be 30.

If you're asking about a nickel coin, I get about 1.625 x 1024. If this was for a homework problem, you'll probably want to carry out your own calculations or face embarrassing questions about how you arrived at that number. (It's also quite possible that I made a mistake.)

Answer 2

It depends on the isotope. The most common naturally occurring isotope is 58Ni. Ni has the atomic number 28, so there are 30 neutrons in that isotope. There are four other stable naturally occurring isotopes with atomic weight 60, 61, 62 and 64. There are also around twenty unstable and radio-isotopes with atomic weights ranging from 48 to 78.

Answer 3

A standard nickel atom has 31 neutrons, 28 protons, and 28 electrons.

Answer 4

The mass number of nickel is 59 and it has 28 protons. Therefore it has 31 neutrons.

Answer 5

28 neutrons (mass number - atomic number)

Answer 6

ask Mr. Kraft he would know.

Answer 7

The nickel atom has 31 neutrons

Answer 8

Nickel has 30 neutrons.
