An atom has 12 electrons and a mass number of 24. How many neutrons does it have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@heartbreak Its neutrons are 12 since you need to subtract the mass number to the number of electrons. Hope this helps. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Atomic mass (24) - atomic number (12) = 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 12 neutrons :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep, it's 12
