The mass number of an isotope is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Silicon has an atomic number of 14, meaning it has 14 protons. If the isotope has 15 neutrons, the mass number would be 14 protons + 15 neutrons, which equals 29. Therefore, the mass number of the silicon isotope is 29.
Silicon-27 has 14 protons (since it is silicon) and 13 neutrons, as the atomic number (proton number) minus the mass number (proton number + neutron number) gives the number of neutrons. In this case, 27 - 14 = 13 neutrons.
For each isotope the number of neutrons is different.Number of neutrons = Mass number of an isotope - 98
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of its protons and neutrons. For oxygen, which has 8 protons, an isotope with nine neutrons would have a mass number of 8 (protons) + 9 (neutrons) = 17. Therefore, the mass number of this oxygen isotope is 17. This isotope is known as oxygen-17.
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, meaning it has 8 protons. If the isotope has 9 neutrons, the mass number would be 8 protons + 9 neutrons = 17. Therefore, the mass number of this oxygen isotope is 17.
The atoms of all three isotopes have the same number of protons (14) and electrons, but differ in the number of neutrons: silicon-28 has 14 neutrons, silicon-29 has 15 neutrons, and silicon-30 has 16 neutrons. This variation in neutron number gives each isotope a different atomic mass.
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Since silicon has 14 protons, the isotope with 15 neutrons would have a mass number of 14 (protons) + 15 (neutrons) = 29.
Silicon has 14 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a silicon isotope = Mass number - 14
The mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Silicon has 14 protons making its atomic number 14. With 14 neutrons added to 14 protons, the mass number of silicon with 14 neutrons would be 28.
Silicon-27 has 14 protons (since it is silicon) and 13 neutrons, as the atomic number (proton number) minus the mass number (proton number + neutron number) gives the number of neutrons. In this case, 27 - 14 = 13 neutrons.
For each isotope the number of neutrons is different.Number of neutrons = Mass number of an isotope - 98
Silicon has 14 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a silicon isotope = Mass number - 14
There are 14 protons and 16 neutrons in 30Si and the atom is a stable isotope of silicon.
Subtract the atomic number of the isotope from its atomic mass number to obtain the number of neutrons in an isotope.
The number of neutrons is different for each isotope. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - 104
For each isotope the number of neutrons is different. Number of neutrons = Mass number of an Tc isotope - 43
For each isotope of Md the number of neutrons is different.Number of neutrons = Mass number of a Md isotope -101
Depending on the isotope. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of the isotope - 84
