What Used to find the number of neutrons?
To find the number of neutrons in an atom you subtract the atomic mass fromthe mass number
When you subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass it will give you the number of what?
the protrons, neutrons and electrons in a atom
What should you do to find the number of neutrons in an atom?
Subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass after rounding each.
Do all atoms contain at least one nuetron?
no, atoms don't have to have neutrons, neutrons are supposed to be neutral so it wont change the charge of the atom if you add or subtract neutrons from an atom. what will change is the mass number of the atom.
How can you determaine the number of a neutrons an atom has from an ayom's mass number and its atomic number?
subtract. mass number - atomic number = number of electrons.
What would subtract to find the number of neutrons in an atom?
You would subtract the atomic number from the mass number.
What do you have when you subtract the atomic no from atomic mass?
Atomic number is number of protons in an atom while atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom when you subtract you will get the number of neutrons in an atom.
How can you figure out the number of neutrons in an atom?
You subtract the atomic number from the atomic weight. For example, if you have a helium atom and its atomic weight is 4 and you subtract its atomic number (2) the number of neutrons in the helium atom is 2.
How can you figure the numbers of neutrons in an atom?
You subtract the atomic number from the atomic weight. For example, if you have a helium atom and its atomic weight is 4 and you subtract its atomic number (2) the number of neutrons in the helium atom is 2.
What do you get if you subtract the atomic number from the mass number for a particular atom?
mass no - atomic no = number of neutrons in an atom.
How do you subtract neutrons in an atom?
Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number
What would you do if you wanted to know the number of neutrons in an atom of a given element?
Neutrons, like protons are considered to have a mass of about 1. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.
Is the atomic number of an atom the number of neutrons?
Subtract the atomic number from the atomic weight.
How is the number of of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom calculated?
Subtract the number of protons from the mass number.
What Used to find the number of neutrons?

How many neutrons are in one atom in fluorine?
subtract the atomic number by the Atomic Mass, and that is the answer. if its a neutral atom, there are probably the same number neutrons as protons.
