How Many Neutrons Does Aluminum Have?


Answer:

Aluminum has 14 neutrons  for this isotope.


Explanation:

Hello, chemistry lover! today we are going to find out  how many neutrons aluminum  have in just 3 steps.





To find out the number of neutrons  for aluminum,we have to have knowledge about atomic number,atomic mass,mass number of aluminum.



                    Step-1:



●The atomic number of aluminum is the number of protons in aluminum's nucleus.



●The atomic mass of aluminum is the average number of  protons plus neutrons of all the isotopes of aluminum.


●The Masss number of aluminum is the number of protons plus neutrons of a specific isotope of aluminum.

                    Step-2:


We need to convert atomic mass of aluminum to mass number of  aluminum by rounding if necessary (In case of fraction) .







From periodic table,



  ●Atomic number of aluminum  is 13 .


●Atomic mass of  aluminum is 26.98


●To find out mass number,we need to round 26.98 to a whole number.So,by rounding,we are getting mass number  of aluminum.The mass number of aluminum is 27.





                    Step-3:


How Many Neutrons Does aluminum Have?

By the difference between mass number and atomic number of aluminum,we get the number of neutrons in aluminum.


●Number of neutrons=27-13=14
Therefore,the number of neutrons in aluminum is 14 here for this isotope.Remember that neutrons are present in the nucleous of aluminum and it's charge is zero.

● Number of electrons in aluminum is 13.Remember that number of electron equals to proton in a neutral atom.Eletrons are present outside of nucleus of aluminum.

●Number of protons in aluminum is 13.Protons are present in the nucleus of aluminum.
