To find out the number of neutrons for neodymium(Nd),we have to have knowledge about atomic number,atomic mass and mass number of neodymium(Nd).


.Click picture to see clearly.




                    Step-1:


●The atomic number of 
 
neodymium(Nd)  is the number of protons in neodymium(Nd)'s nucleus.


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


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



How Many Neutrons Does  neodymium(Nd)  Have?




                    Step-2:

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





From periodic table,


  ●Atomic number of 
 neodymium(Nd) is 60.

●Atomic mass of  
neodymium(Nd) is 144.2

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



So,by rounding,we are getting the mass number of neodymium(Nd).The mass number of neodymium(Nd) (we are getting) is 144.




                    Step-3:

How Many Neutrons Does neodymium(Nd)  Have?


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


●Number of neutrons=144-60=84

In another way,

●Mass number=Protons +Neutrons

Or,144 =60+Neutrons





Or,144-60=Neutrons





Therefore,
Neutrons=84




Therefore,the number of neutrons in neodymium(Nd) is 84 here for this isotope.Remember that neutrons are present in the nucleous of neodymium(Nd) and it's charge is zero.



●Number of protons in neodymium(Nd) is 60.Protons are present in the nucleus of neodymium(Nd) .











● Number of electrons in neodymium(Nd) is 60.Remember that number of electron equals to proton in a neutral atom.Eletrons are present outside of nucleus of neodymium(Nd) .
