How many protons neutrons and electrons an atom of titanium have?
Protons: 21 Neutrons: 29 Electrons: Normally 21
A neutral atom has the same number of protons as it does neutrons?
no. an atom is made up of protons neutrons and electrons. protons have a charge of plus one electrons have a charge of minus one neutrons have no charge. therefore the number of protons and electrons must be equal (balancing the charges) for the atom to be neutral. ;)
If the nucleus had six protons how many electrons would the atom have?
It would likely have 6 neutrons which means it would have a mass of 12, hence Carbon-12, the most abundant isotope of C. If it had 8 neutrons (Carbon-14), it would be unstable and would decay by negative beta decay to stable Nitrogen-14, the most abundant isotope of N which has 7 protons and 7 neutons for a mass of 14.
What does a atom contain?
All atoms of an element have the same number of protons and electrons (in the neutral state).
The sum of the protons and the neutrons will tell the atomic what?
Atomic mass number of the atom. The best way to remember it is: the majority of the mass of an atom is made up of the protons and neutrons (the electrons are very light!), therefore the atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons.
What are the number of protons neutrons and electrons in boron?
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
Do electrons equal the sum of the number of neutrons and protons in an isotope?
No. The number of neutrons has no affect on the number of protons and electrons.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in promethium?
Promethium has 61 protons and electrons; For each isotope the number of neutrons is different. Number of neutrons = Mass number of an isotope - 61
How many numders of neutrons and electrons does oxygen have?
Oxygen has 8 electrons and protons. The number of neutrons is different for each isotope: Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of the isotope - Number of protons
How many electrons protons and neutrons are in technetium?
Technetium has 43 protons and 43 electrons. For each isotope the number of neutrons is different. Number of neutrons = Mass number of an Tc isotope - 43
LList the number of protons electrons and neutrons in americium?
Americium has 95 protons and electrons. Number of neutrons: atomic mass of an isotope - number of protons.
How many protons electrons and neutrons does an atom have?
Americium has 95 protons and electrons. Number of neutrons: Atomic Mass of an isotope - number of protons
How many protons electrons and neutrons does americium have?
Americium has 95 protons and electrons. Number of neutrons: atomic mass of an isotope - number of protons
How many electrons and protons does protactinium have?
Protactinium has 91 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope: Number of neutrons = Atomic Mass of the isotope - 91
What is the number of protons neutrons and electrons nitrogen?
A nitrogen atom has 7 protons, 7 electrons and 7 neutrons for the most common isotope
How many protons electrons and neutrons does technetium have tech?
Technetium has 43 protons and 43 electrons. For each isotope the number of neutrons is different. Number of neutrons = Mass number of an Tc isotope - 43
What is an isotope?
An isotope is an element with the same number of electrons and protons different number of neutrons.
