Question

how many neutrons are in the niobium isotope $_{41}^{92}nb$? neutrons

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for neutrons

Number of neutrons \(N = A - Z\), where \(A\) is the mass number and \(Z\) is the atomic number.

Step2: Identify \(A\) and \(Z\)

For \(_{41}^{92}\text{Nb}\), \(A = 92\) (mass number, upper - left superscript) and \(Z=41\) (atomic number, lower - left subscript).

Step3: Calculate the number of neutrons

\(N=92 - 41\)
\(N = 51\)

Answer:

51
