Yes, and in order to find the Number of Neutrons, subtract Atomic Mass from Number Of Protons, the result will be the Number of Neutrons for that atom

*No. Of Neutron=Atomic Mass - Number Of Protons

yes, we can identify atom without knowing the number of neutrons in it by using the given formula:

No of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number

Atomic No = No of electrons = No of protons

Atomic mass =No of protons + No of neutrons

It is not possible to accurately identify an element given only the number of neutrons. All atoms are made of three particles: electrons, protons and neutrons. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons if the atom is uncharged. The atomic mass of an element is the sum of the mass of all the particles.

Can you identify an atom without number of neutrons in it?

Every element has a specific number of protons, which is how an element is identified. That gives its atomic number. The number of neutrons can vary, and therefore is not useful in identifying an element.


What is the number of neutrons in an atom with atomic mass of 35?

cannot say without knowing the element, that is the number of protons.Sulfur-35, radioactive; 19 neutronsChlorine-35, stable; 18 neutronsArgon-35, radioactive; 17 neutrons


Which particles in an atom can increase or decrease in number without changing the identity of the element?

Neutrons


What is the symbol of barium and number of neutrons?

The symbol is Ba. The number of neutrons equal the number of protons.


What element has 20 protons and is found in teeth and bones?

Calcium

No, only by the atomic number, also known as the number of protons.

How can you identify neutrons?

To identify neutrons, we need to subtract the atomic number and atomic mass..Since neutrons are the negative ones, the electrons are the positive ones. So clearly, ....shut up !!!!!!!!!ha di ka kasabot diha?/?/???


Why must you know both how many protons and how many neutrons an element has in order to fully identify it?

The number of protons determine what element it is, the number of neutrons determine what isotope it is.


What number identify an element?

The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of that element; it will identify the element. The number of neutrons of a given element may be different as the element may have a number of isotopes.


Why is not possible to determine the type of atom by simply knowing how many neutrons it has?

because the neutrons have no charge


How do you find the mass number of an element or compound without knowing the number of neutrons?

Atomic weight is really the only way to know how many neutrons there are. However, if you have no reason to think that you are dealing with an unusual isotope, you can assume the normal distribution of isotopes.
