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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mass number = #protons + #neutrons

OpenStudy (anonymous):

assuming the atom isn't an ion, the #electrons should equal the #protons

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so #protons = 12. 24-12=12 so there are 12 neutrons
