Yes. Iodine has an atomic number of 53, which means it has 53 protons.
Iodine has 53 protons, and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Therefore, iodine also has 53 electrons. This balance of protons and electrons ensures that the atom is electrically neutral.
For a standard atom, the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons is the same. For example: 2 Protons - 2 Neutrons - 2 Electrons Helium 3 Protons - 3 Neutrons - 3 Electrons Lithium 4 Protons - 4 Neutrons - 4 Electrons Beryllium So... 53 Protons - 53 Neutrons - 53 Electrons Iodine
Iodine has an atomic number of 53, which means it has 53 protons and, in a neutral atom, also 53 electrons. The most common isotope of iodine, iodine-127, has 74 neutrons (127 - 53 = 74). Therefore, in a neutral iodine-127 atom, there are 53 protons, 53 electrons, and 74 neutrons.
The 131 number is the mass number: the sum of the number of protons and neutrons. Iodine has 53 protons and will have 53 electrons if its a neutral atom. To find the number of neutrons, just subtract the mass number with the number of protons 131 - 53 = 78 neutrons. See link below for periodic table.
An atom of chlorine has 17 protons.
The atomic number of Iodine is 53, and so one atom of Iodine has 53 protons. In order for the charge to be balanced, each atom of Iodine must also have 53 electrons.
Iodine
An atom's atomic number gives its number of protons. Iodine's atomic number is 53. Thus, iodine has 53 protons.
Iodine has 53 protons, and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Therefore, iodine also has 53 electrons. This balance of protons and electrons ensures that the atom is electrically neutral.
For a standard atom, the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons is the same. For example: 2 Protons - 2 Neutrons - 2 Electrons Helium 3 Protons - 3 Neutrons - 3 Electrons Lithium 4 Protons - 4 Neutrons - 4 Electrons Beryllium So... 53 Protons - 53 Neutrons - 53 Electrons Iodine
The neutral iodine atom contain the same number of electrons as protons - 53.
There are 53 protons and 53 electrons in an iodine atom.
The mass number of an atom is determined by the number of neutrons and protons. Since you already know the number of neutrons, you just need the number of protons, then you can add them together. I happen to know that iodine has 53 protons, so that means that the mass number is 127.It is the protons and neutrons added together so when you add 53 and 74 you get 127! Hope that helped a lot!! :):):):):):):)
It's 53, because the number of protons equal the element's atomic number. You can easily find it on a periodic table.
This question is incomplete. One cannot say how many neutrons an atom of iodine has unless one also specifies which isotope of iodine one is referring to. Since the atomic number of iodine is 53, that means that there are 53 electrons and 53 protons in the neutral atom.
there are 53 protons in the nucleus and 27 electrons on the 2nd shell
The atomic number of iodine is 53. So there are 53 protons and 53 electrons. For I-135 isotope, there are 82 neutrons (135 - 53 = 82)
