What element has 9 electrons 9 protons and 10 neutrons?

The element is Neon and the isotope is 10Ne19


Can you use the mass number of an element to determine the number of electrons in an atom?

No, the mass number of an element is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. To determine the number of electrons, you would need to know the atomic number of the element, which is equal to the number of protons. Electrons in a neutral atom equal the number of protons.


Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?

Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.


What are the basic properties of an element?

the number of neutrons, protons, and electrons


How many protons newtrons and electrons?

An atom's nucleus contains protons and neutrons, while electrons orbit around the nucleus. The number of protons defines the element, the number of neutrons can vary within isotopes of the element, and the number of electrons equals the number of protons in a neutral atom.


Protons electrons and neutrons in any given atom?

The atomic number of a chemical element is equal to the number of electrons or protons. The number of neutrons = Atomic weight of an isotope (rounded) - atomic number of the element (or the number of protons)


How many neutrons and electrons are in the nucleus of an atom?

The atomic number of a chemical element is equal to the number of electrons or protons. The number of neutrons = Atomic weight of an isotope (rounded) - atomic number of the element (or the number of protons)


How many protons neutrons and electrons does si-28 have?

A silicon-28 atom has 14 protons, 14 neutrons, and 14 electrons. The number of protons determines the element (silicon in this case), the sum of protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass of the isotope (28 in this case), and the number of electrons balances the charge to make the atom electrically neutral.


What is the number of protons plus the number of electrons?

The number of protons plus the number of electrons isn't a recognized figure in chemistry. The number of protons is the atomic number of an element. The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons except when the element is an ion. An ionic compound results in one or more electrons moving from one element to another element. Although this is a simplification, it can be described as the atom gaining or losing electrons. The number of protons plus the number of neutrons is the atomic weight of an element.


Does all the isotopes of an element have the same number of neutrons?

No, the number of neutrons vary, but protons and electrons are static among an element.


What is the number of protons neutrons and electrons of carbon 12?

Carbon-12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. The number of protons determines the element (carbon), the number of neutrons plus protons gives the mass number (12), and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.


What element contains 74 protons 74 electrons and 109 neutrons?

The element with 74 protons is tungsten (symbol W). The number of electrons and neutrons does not affect the identity of the element, which is solely determined by the number of protons.
