Each atom has a unique combination of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
If the atomic mass of the atom is 48 and it contains 20 protons, then the atom contains 28 neutrons. This can be calculated by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass, since the atomic mass includes both protons and neutrons.
Each element has a different number of protons and neutrons. So it changes for each element.
Protons: 10 Neutrons: 10
The atomic weight minus the number of protons = the atom's neutrons.
14 protons
Protons and neutrons each have an atomic mass of 1 So, 38-15=23 Neutrons
If the atomic mass of the atom is 48 and it contains 20 protons, then the atom contains 28 neutrons. This can be calculated by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass, since the atomic mass includes both protons and neutrons.
Each element has a different number of protons and neutrons. So it changes for each element.
4 protons and about 5 neutrons
Protons: 10 Neutrons: 10
"Used" is the wrong term to be used in this case. An atom is MADE up of protons,neutrons and electrons. Also, the number of protons or neutrons present in an atom depends on which atom is it or of which element it is.
no the proton and the neutron are in a atom if there are so many protons it will over power the neutron if there are to many neutrons it will over power the proton neutrons and protons must be equal for the atom to be stable.
An oxygen atom has 8 protons and usually 8 neutrons, resulting in an atomic mass of 16.
Protons: 5 Neutrons: 7 Electrons: 5
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So, in an atom with three protons, it would contain three electrons. The number of neutrons does not affect the charge or number of electrons in the atom.
An atom with atomic number 50 contains 50 protons. The mass number of 125 indicates the total number of protons and neutrons combined, so subtracting the number of protons (50) from the mass number gives 75 neutrons.
An atom of potassium has 19 protons, 19 electrons, and typically 20 neutrons.
