This isotope is shown in hyphen notation: on the left side of the hyphen is the isotope's name, and on the right side is the isotope's mass number. The mass number of an element is the total number of particles in the nucleus (the number of protons + neutrons an atom has).
In order to get the number of protons an atom has, find its atomic number on the Periodic Table. Selenium's atomic number is 34.... wait, this doesn't make any sense. If it has a mass number of 30 and an atomic number of 34, it has -4 neutrons.
I'm sorry, but it looks like you have the problem wrong.
Selenium a non metal hexagonal grey element has 34 protons and electrons. The atomic structure of Selenium has 45 neutrons.
Selenium-79 is a radioisotope of selenium containing 34 protons and 45 neutrons.
Selenium (Se) has an atomic number of 34 which means in a balance atom Se will have 34 protons and 34 electrons then Se has a mass of 79 so to get the neutrons we minus the protons from the mass and we get 45 final answer: Neutrons: 45 Protons:34 Electrons: 34
The mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Since selenium usually has 34 neutrons, an atom of selenium with 31 neutrons would have a mass number of 34 (31 neutrons + 17 protons).
Selenium has an atomic number of 34, which means it has 34 protons. To find the number of neutrons in selenium-80, subtract the atomic number (34) from the isotope number (80). Therefore, selenium-80 would have 46 neutrons (80 - 34).

Selenium-55 has 34 protons, 21 neutrons, and 34 electrons.

I don't know Se-50.
Slenium has 34 protons and 45 neutrons! :)
Well, honey, that element you're looking for is selenium. With 34 protons and 46 neutrons, it's strutting its stuff in the periodic table like it's on a catwalk. So, there you have it, a match made in chemistry heaven.
Selenium's mass number is 79. It is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of a selenium atom.
Number of protons in Selenium is 34.
An atom of selenium-80 contains 34 protons, 46 neutrons, and 34 electrons. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus.
