Tungsten, a dense, lustrous metal with the highest melting point of all elements, consists of 74 protons, 110 neutrons, and 74 electrons.
Tungsten protons
- Protons = atomic number
From the periodic table, find the atomic number of tungsten.
The atomic number of tungsten is 74. Hence, tungsten has a total of 74 protons.
Tungsten neutrons
- Neutrons = atomic mass – atomic number
The atomic mass of tungsten is 183.84, so we’ll take the roundup value as 184. And the atomic number of tungsten is 74.
Subtract the atomic number (74) from the atomic mass (184). Hence, tungsten has a total of 184 – 74 = 110 neutrons.
Tungsten electrons
- Electrons = atomic number
The atomic number of tungsten is 74. Hence, tungsten has a total of 74 electrons.
