How many neutrons and electrons are in zinc-66?

Answer 1

well, the isotope number of the atom doesnt matter, as long is it doesnt decay, as it only specifies the number of neutrons which doesn't have a strong affect on the stable number of electrons. Typically, free atoms are stable when they have a netral net charge, Though, if excited with EM waves, the electrons will want to increase in energy, and eventually leave the atom.

For any atom, the number of electrons is simply the atomic number, which for zinc is 30.

though, when zinc is in close proximity to itself or other metals, it bonds metallically, and looses its electrons to have a full p orbital, meaning that the only number of electrons actuall in the atom is 18

when in ionic bond it looses two electrons, and then only has 28 electrons

Answer 2

30 electrons.

Zinc-66 stands for Zinc having 66 as the Atomic Mass. We know Zinc has 30 protons and we can assume that it's in a stable state so there would be 30 electrons. This means there's 36 neutrons. (30[protons] + 36[neutrons] = 66[atomic mass]

Answer 3

36

The number of neutrons is the mass number (the 66) minus the atomic number (which is 30 for zinc and represents the number of protons).

Answer 4

Zinc-66 or 66Zn consists of 36 neutrons and it is stable

Answer 5

Like all Zinc isotopes, Zinc-66 has 30 protons and 30 electrons. It has 36 neutrons, which is why it is called zinc-66. 30+36=66.

Answer 6

30 protons and 30 electrons as the atomic mass of zinc is 30.

Zn-66 isotope has 36 neutrons

Answer 7

The atomic number of zinc is 30. So it has 30 protons and 30 electrons.

In addition, Zn-68 has 38 neutrons.

Answer 8

Zinc-66 has 30 protons and 36 neutrons.

Answer 9

36 neutrons
