How many neutrons does nobelium have?

157; you figure that out by taking the atomic mass (259) and subtract it by the # of protons (102) and the answer is the # of neutrons. ( the atomic #, # of protons, and # of electrons are always the same # 102 ). But each isotope of nobelium has a different number of neutrons, depending on the atomic mass.


How do you calculate neutrons for elements in the periodic table?

them mass number of an element is the total amount of nuetrons and protons in the element , and the atomic number is the amount of protons ( and electrons) in the element simply subtract the atomic number from the mass number and you'll have the number of neutrons in the element hope this helped x


Radioactive elements comprise a majority?

Yes. Stable elements are 83 elements. all elements above that of atomic number 83 (Bismuth) are radioactive. Radioactive isotopes are of the order of 1500 radioactive isotope.


How can you tell how many neutrons are in an element?

The number of neutrons in an element is determined by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass number rounded to the nearest whole number. On the other hand, very few atoms are abnormal and have a different amount of neutrons than other atoms of the same element. These are called isotopes and are indicated by a number following the element symbol (eg. C-14). This is a radioactive isotope of carbon that has six protons based on the atomic number and two more neutrons than normal--8. (8+6=14). Finally, the reason that the atomic mass units end in decimals is that this is just an average weight. The isotopes can either bring this number up or down. atomic number [ 6 ] symbol [ C ] mass (atomic mass units (amu)) [ 12.01 ]


Which element has the highest number of electrons?

Because an atom of element has the same number of electrons as of protons and the number of protons in an atom is the same as the atomic number of the atom, the answer to this is whichever element has the highest atomic number yet synthesized.
