An element's number of protons is the same as its atomic number. Thus, an atom with 21 protons has the atomic number 21. By looking up this element on the Periodic Table, one finds that it is scandium.

How many electrons are in Cr-52?

There are 24 protons in Chromium (including Chromium54) of any isotope. Isotopes are just elements with different numbers of neutrons. If it is called chromium it has 24 protons. The atomic number of an element is the same as the number of protons.


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 ]


How many electrons in fructose?

The chemical formula for fructose is C6H12O6, which means that each molecule of fructose has 6 atoms of C (carbon), 12 atoms of H (hydrogen), and 6 atoms of O (oxygen). The atomic numbers of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, respectively, are 6, 1, and 8. This means that, unless ionically charged, a fructose molecule should have (6x6) + (12x1) + (6x8) = 96 electrons.


What is the size difference between protons electrons and neutrons?

Protons and neutrons are approximately the same size, with a diameter of about 1 femtometer (10^-15 meters). Electrons are much smaller, with a radius of about 0.00000000000002 femtometers, making them almost negligible in size compared to protons and neutrons.


How many electrons in nitrite?

The equation for nitrite is NO2-. To find the valence electrons of each atom, count how many groups from the left of the periodic table (skipping over the d-block, which is shown in this picture in the related link. So Nitrogen has 5, and each oxygen has 6. The negative sign means that the polyatomic ion has one extra electron, so 1 more. 5+(6*2)+1=18 total valence electrons.

How many neutrons does the element Sc have?

The element Scandium (Sc) has 21 protons in its nucleus, which can be determined using its atomic number. To find the number of neutrons, we can subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass: Scandium has an atomic mass of approximately 45. This gives us 45 - 21 = 24 neutrons in a Scandium atom.
