The average number of neutrons that a specific element has is equivilent to the element's Atomic Mass minus the that elements atomic number. For example Helium has 2 neutrons because its atomic mass (4) minus the atomic number (2) is 2.

Is the atomic number of an atom equal to the number of protons or neutrons or electrons in the nucleus?

The atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. It determines the element's identity and position on the periodic table. Electrons and neutrons can vary in number to form different isotopes of the element.


The mass number of an element is equal to what of an element?

The sum of the number of protons and the number of nuetrons.


The mass number of an elements is equal to?

the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.


What is an element that is equal to its number of protons and neutrons?

A stable one.


Is the atomic weight of an element is equal to the number of protons minus the number of neutrons?

No, the atomic weight of an element is not equal to the number of protons minus the number of neutrons. Atomic weight is the average weight of an element's isotopes taking into account their abundance, which includes the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.


How do you find the number of protons and neutrons in an element?

The number of protons in an element is equal to its atomic number, which is found on the periodic table. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass of the element.


Do Eletrically neutral element have equal numbers of electrons and neutrons?

Electrically neutral elements have equal numbers of electrons and protons. A stable element has equal numbers of protons and neutrons. Thus, the answer to the question ''Do Eletrically neutral element have equal numbers of electrons and neutrons?'' depends on the stability of the element i.e. if stable then yes and if unstable than might not.


Can atomic weight minus the number of neutrons equal the number of isotopes an element has?

It is not correct.


What number identify an element?

The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of that element; it will identify the element. The number of neutrons of a given element may be different as the element may have a number of isotopes.


What does the atomic number of an element say about the number of particles in atoms of that element?

The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and neutrons in a neutral atom.


What is the sum of protons and neutrons known as an element?

Sum of protons and neutrons is the Mass number of the element. The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. Neutrons and protons are sub atomic particles.


How is the mass number related to the number of protons and neutrons and atoms has?

The mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. It represents the total number of nuclear particles (protons and neutrons) in the atom's nucleus. The number of protons in an atom determines its element, while the number of neutrons can vary to create different isotopes of the element.
