Descriptio







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



                    Step-1:



●The atomic number of 
 molybdenum(Mo)  is the number of protons in molybdenum(Mo)'s nucleus.



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


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

                    Step-2:

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





From periodic table,


  ●Atomic number of 
 molybdenum(Mo) is 42.

●Atomic mass of  
molybdenum(Mo) is 95.94

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


So,by rounding,we are getting mass number of  molybdenum(Mo)
.The mass n umber of molybdenum(Mo) is 96.



                    Step-3:

How Many Neutrons Does molybdenum Have?

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


●Number of neutrons=96-42=54

In another way,

●Mass number=Protons +Neutrons

Or,96 =42+Neutrons

Or,96-42=Neutrons

Therefore,
Neutrons=54





Therefore,the number of neutrons in molybdenum(Mo) is 54 here for this isotope.Remember that neutrons are present in the nucleous of molybdenum(Mo)and it's charge is zero.

●Number of protons in 
molybdenum(Mo) is 42.Protons are present in the nucleus of molybdenum(Mo) .



● Number of electrons in 
molybdenum(Mo)  is 42.Remember that number of electron equals to proton in a neutral atom.Eletrons are present outside of nucleus of molybdenum(Mo)  .
