Nickel has 31 neutrons for this isotope.
How Many Neutrons Does Nickel  Have?



Explanation:

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








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



                    Step-1:



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



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


●The masss number of 
nickel is the number of protons plus neutrons of a specific isotope of nickel.

                    Step-2:


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









From periodic table,



  ●Atomic number of 
nickel  is 28.


●Atomic mass of  
nickel is 58.71


●To find out mass number,we need to round 
58.71 to a whole number.So,by rounding,we are getting mass number  of nickel.The mass number of nickel is 59.





                    Step-3:


How Many Neutrons Does nickel Have?

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


●Number of neutrons=59-28=31


In another way,

●Mass number=Protons +Neutrons

Or,59 =28 +Neutrons

Or,59-28=Neutrons

Therefore,
Neutrons=31




Therefore,the number of neutrons in 
nickel is 31 here for this isotope.Remember that neutrons are present in the nucleous of nickel and it's charge is zero.

●Number of protons in 
nickel is 28.Protons are present in the nucleus of nickel.




● Number of electrons in 
nickel is 28.Remember that number of electron equals to proton in a neutral atom.Eletrons are present outside of nucleus of nickel.
