Well, if an atom has 16 protons, then it is Sulfur, which is a non metal. If it had 16 neutrons, then it would be another isotope of sulfur, which would make it Sulfur-32. Then, unless it has a charge, there would also be 16 electrons.

∙ 11y agoAtomic number is defined as the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, and mass number is defined as the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Therefore, an element of atoms containing 16 neutrons and an atomic number of 14 has a mass number of 14 + 16 or 30.

How do you calculate the number of neutrons an atom of a specific element has?
First, find its atomic mass on the periodic table and subtract the number of protons (element number) from it and there you go
How are the atomic mass and the atomic number different?
the atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom of an element and the atomic number is the number of protons of an atom of an element.
How many protons and neutrons in meitnerium?
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - Atomic number of the element The atomic number of meitnerium is 109. Each isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons. Meitnerium has 109 protons.
How is an atomic number similar to mass number?
The nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons. The number of protons in a particular nucleus is its "atomic number". The total number of protons and neutrons in a particular nucleus is its "mass number".
What is the difference between the mass number and the atomic number of an element?
The difference between the atomic number and the mass number is that the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element. The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the atom.Atomic number = number of protonsMass number = total number of protons + neutrons
Is the atomic weight of an element is equal to the number of protons minus the number of neutrons?
Atomic weight of an element is the number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus, atomic number is the number of protons only.
What are the number of protons neutrons and electrons in an element?
Number of protons = Number of electrons = Atomic number Number of neutrons = Atomic number - Number of protons
How do you calculate the number of neutrons an atom of a specific element has?
First, find its atomic mass on the periodic table and subtract the number of protons (element number) from it and there you go
An element's atomic mass number is?
It is about neutrons and protons. The total of neutrons and protons.
How many protons and neutrons does an atom have?
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) R
How do you determine the number of protons electrons and neutrons present in an element by identifying its atomic and mass numbers from the periodic table?
Atomic number means number of protons present in an atom. Atomic number= number of protons. mass number = number of neutrons+ number of protons. So if you subtract the number of protons you get neutrons and if you subtract neutrons you get protons. mass number - protons= neutrons Mass number - neutrons = protons.
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 are the atomic mass and the atomic number different?
the atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom of an element and the atomic number is the number of protons of an atom of an element.
What is the sum of protons and neutrons known as an element?
Sum of protons and neutrons is the Mass number of the element. The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. Neutrons and protons are sub atomic particles.
How many protons and neutrons in meitnerium?
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - Atomic number of the element The atomic number of meitnerium is 109. Each isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons. Meitnerium has 109 protons.
Is the atomic number of an atom equal to the number of protons or neutrons or electrons in the nucleus?
No, atomic number equals the number of protons.The number of neutrons is NOT specific to an element, and various atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons - these are called isotopes.
The atomic weight of an element is determined by what?
The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus.
