Niobium, a shiny, gray transition metal, consists of 41 protons, 52 neutrons, and 41 electrons.
Niobium protons
- Protons = atomic number
From the periodic table, find the atomic number of niobium.
The atomic number of niobium is 41. Hence, niobium has a total of 41 protons.
Niobium neutrons
- Neutrons = atomic mass – atomic number
The atomic mass of niobium is 92.90638, so we’ll take the roundup value as 93. And the atomic number of niobium is 41.
Subtract the atomic number (41) from the atomic mass (93). Hence, niobium has a total of 93 – 41 = 52 neutrons.
Niobium electrons
- Electrons = atomic number
The atomic number of niobium is 41. Hence, niobium has a total of 41 electrons.
