Are number of protons and nuetrons same ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Neutrons and protons are not always the same. The number of neutrons can vary depending on the isotope. For example hydrogen in its base form is one proton. When it has a neutron also it is called deterium.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no: of protons and neutrons differ in every element.we can say that in smaller elements the neutron-proton ratio will be limited.but when we go further ,elements of greater atomic no: show greater neutron-proton ratio,which lead to natural radioactivity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can anyone of u go in detail please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An element is defined by the number of protons it has, so the number of neutrons have no bearing on which element is present, only which isotope. As Joseph mentioned the larger elements have larger neutron to proton ratios.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, the number of protons is the atomtic number and the number of nuetrons is the mass MINUS the atomic number, like Flourine's atomic number is 9 and its mass is 19.00, so there would be 9 protons and 10 nuetrons, (19-9=10).
