Vanadium, a shiny transition metal known for its hardness and resistance to corrosion, consists of 23 protons, 28 neutrons, and 23 electrons.
Vanadium protons
- Protons = atomic number
From the periodic table, find the atomic number of vanadium.
The atomic number of vanadium is 23. Hence, vanadium has a total of 23 protons.
Vanadium neutrons
- Neutrons = atomic mass – atomic number
The atomic mass of vanadium is 50.9415, so we’ll take the roundup value as 51. And the atomic number of vanadium is 23.
Subtract the atomic number (23) from the atomic mass (51). Hence, vanadium has a total of 51 – 23 = 28 neutrons.
Vanadium electrons
- Electrons = atomic number
The atomic number of vanadium is 23. Hence, vanadium has a total of 23 electrons.
