Palladium (Pd) Have?




Hello, chemistry lover! today I am going to help you to find out how many neutrons palladium(Pd) have in just 3 steps.

To find out the number of neutrons  for  palladium(Pd) ,we have to have knowledge about atomic number,atomic mass,mass number of  palladium(Pd)
.Click picture to see clearly.



                    Step-1:



●The atomic number of 
 palladium(Pd)  is the number of protons in palladium(Pd) nucleus.



●The atomic mass of 
 palladium(Pd)   is the average number of  protons plus neutrons of all the isotopes of   palladium(Pd) .


●The masss number of 
 palladium(Pd)  is the number of protons plus neutrons of a specific isotope of  palladium(Pd)   .

                    Step-2:

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





From periodic table,


  ●Atomic number of 
 palladium(Pd) is 46.

●Atomic mass of  
palladium(Pd) is 106.4

●To find out mass number,we need to round 
106.4 to a whole number.


So,by rounding,we are getting the  mass number of palladium(Pd).The mass number of palladium(Pd) is 106.




                    Step-3:

How Many Neutrons Does palladium(Pd) Have?

By the difference between mass number and atomic number of 
palladium(Pd),we get the number of neutrons in palladium(Pd).


●Number of neutrons=106-46=60

In another way,

●Mass number=Protons +Neutrons

Or,106 =46+Neutrons

Or,106-46=Neutrons

Therefore,
Neutrons=60





Therefore,the number of neutrons in palladium(Pd) is 60 here for this isotope.Remember that neutrons are present in the nucleous of palladium(Pd)and it's charge is zero.

●Number of protons in 
palladium(Pd) is 46.Protons are present in the nucleus of palladium(Pd) .




● Number of electrons in 
palladium(Pd)  is 46.Remember that number of electron equals to proton in a neutral atom.Eletrons are present outside of nucleus of palladium(Pd)  .
