What element has 12 protons and 10 neutrons?
Any atom, ion, or isotope with 12 protons is going to be magnesium. Only the number of protons in the nucleus will determine the element. But with the information about the number of neutrons, the specific isotope can also be determined - 22Mg.
How are neutrons dissimilar from protrons?
A neutron has no charge. A proton has a charge of +1. They both have a Relative Atomic Mass of 1 (Relative to 1/12th of a Carbon-12 atom). The number of protons affects the chemical properties of an element, and indeed, what element it is - whereas neutrons tend to affect physical properties and what isotope it is.
What is the number of protons and neutrons in carbon?
In Carbon-12 there are 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons.
What effect does changing the number of particles in an atom have on the atoms identity?
An atom is made of smaller particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and nuetrons are in the nucleus. The number of protons in a nucleus is the atomic number and defines the type of element the atom forms. The number of neutrons determines the isotope of an element. For example, the carbon-12 isotope has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, while the carbon-14 isotope has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. If the numbe of protons were to change, it would no longer be carbon.
What elements has 2 isotopes 6 neutrons and 8 other neutrons?
The element with 6 neutrons and 8 other neutrons is carbon. Carbon-12 is the most common isotope of carbon, with 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon-14 is another isotope of carbon, with 6 protons and 8 neutrons.
What element has 12 nuetrons?
Magnesium is the element that has 12 neutrons in it.
How is the isotope different from an element?
An element is defined by the number of protons in the nucleus; for example, carbon always has 6 protons. Elements can also have different numbers of neutrons in the atomic nucleus, and each number of neutrons gives you a different isotope. So, there is the isotope called carbon 12, with 6 neutrons (12 nuclear particles in total) and there is also the isotope called carbon 14, with 8 neutrons (14 nuclear particles in total). Every element has a number of isotopes.
What is the element that has 12 neutrons?
Magnesium, the 12th element
What subatomic particles could be changed without changing which element the atom?
You are probably referring to neutrons which are often found within the nucleus of an atom in numbers different from the protons. An atom of the element carbon, for instance, normally consists of 12 protons, 12 electrons and 12 neutrons. However, an isotope of carbon known as C13 consists of 12 protons, 12 electrons and 13 neutrons.
How many neutrons does the mass number 12 have?
Carbon is the element with mass 12. It has 6 neutrons.
What does not have the normal number of neutrons?
an atom of an element that does not the comman number of electrons is an isotope. for example cabon-12(has 12 neutrons) is a very common element but carbon-14(has 14 neutrons) is much rarer
How many alpha particles are produced as one atom of uranium-238 decays to an atom of lead-206?
4 alpha particles were emitted. This is known by the fact that an alpha particle ,on being given out, decrease the mass number of the element by 4.Hence the decrease in mass number in above question is 12 which itself states the answer that 4 alpha particles are emitted. The number of beta particles emitted are 3 beta particle have been emitted.
How many neutrons does sodium 24 have?
12 neutrons are in the element sodium.
What are the subatomic particles in the isotope 28Mg?
12 electrons, 12 protons, and 16 neutrons
What element has 12 protons and 10 neutrons?
Any atom, ion, or isotope with 12 protons is going to be magnesium. Only the number of protons in the nucleus will determine the element. But with the information about the number of neutrons, the specific isotope can also be determined - 22Mg.
When an unstable magnesium nucleus undergoes alpha decay the nucleus formed is that of sodium neon magnesium aluminum or silicon?
Magnesium has 12 protons and 12 or so neutrons depending on the isotope. An alpha particle has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. So if magnesium loses 2 protons by shooting off an alpha particle, it will move 2 places down the periodic table and become neon. Neon has 10 protons.
What element is a member of the alkaline earth metal and has 12 neutrons?
It is magnesium.
