Neon has 10 protons, 10 neutrons, and 10 electrons.
Neon protons
- Protons = atomic number
From the periodic table, find the atomic number of neon.
The atomic number of neon is 10. Hence, neon has a total of 10 protons.
Neon neutrons
- Neutrons = atomic mass – atomic number
The atomic mass of neon is 20.1797, so we’ll take the roundup value as 20. And the atomic number of neon is 10.
Subtract the atomic number (10) from the atomic mass (20). Hence, neon has a total of 20 – 10 = 10 neutrons.
Neon electrons
- Electrons = atomic number
The atomic number of neon is 10. Hence, neon has a total of 10 electrons.
