The isotope boron-11 has 5 protons and 6 neutrons, but also 5 electrons not 8.
Neutrons do not affect the neutrality (or charge) of an atom; protons and electrons do. In order to be neutral, the number of protons must be the same as the number of electrons.
Boron has 5 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a boron isotope = Mass number - 5
The atomic mass of an element is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In this case, the element has 4 protons and 5 neutrons, so its atomic mass is 4 + 5 = 9 atomic mass units (amu). The number of electrons does not affect the atomic mass.
boron10 would be the isotope that matches these descriptions
Boron (symbol B, atom number 5) is build up with:5 protons, 5 electrons and 5 or 6 neutrons, depending on the mass number of the two possible isotopes: B-(10) has 5 neutrons and B-(11) has 6 of them respectively.
Boron is an atom or element, and it contains protons, electrons, and neutrons.
The gaseous element with 5 valence electrons and fewer neutrons than sodium is Boron. Boron has 5 protons and 5 neutrons, while sodium has 11 protons and about 12 neutrons.
Be- Beryllium
Neutrons do not affect the neutrality (or charge) of an atom; protons and electrons do. In order to be neutral, the number of protons must be the same as the number of electrons.
It is the boron element. It contains similar numbers of electrons and protons.
5 protons 8 neutrons try it
Five protons makes this the element boron. The number of protons is the atomic number, and determines the identity of an element. This example would be the boron-12 isotope because it contains 5 protons and 7 neutrons.
Boron 10: 5 protons, 5 neutrons, 5 electrons Boron 11: 5 protons, 6 neutrons, 5 electrons
Boron has 5 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a boron isotope = Mass number - 5
The atomic mass of an element is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In this case, the element has 4 protons and 5 neutrons, so its atomic mass is 4 + 5 = 9 atomic mass units (amu). The number of electrons does not affect the atomic mass.
boron10 would be the isotope that matches these descriptions
All beryllium atoms have 4 protons and 4 electrons. The number of neutrons is characteristic of a particular isotope, not of beryllium as a whole, and may be determined by subtracting 4, the number of protons, from the mass number of the isotope.
