  • Calculating Neutrons in an Atom: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to determine the number of neutrons:

    * Atomic Mass: This represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

    * Atomic Number: This represents the number of protons in the nucleus.

    Calculation:

    1. Find the number of neutrons: Subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.

    * Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number

    * Number of neutrons = 36 - 25 = 11

    Answer: There are 11 neutrons in the nucleus of this atom.
