Answer 2

The atomic number of silicon is 14 - so it has 14 protons in its nucleus.
The mass number of the most common type of silicon atom is 28 - so it has 14 neutrons added to those 14 protons in the nucleus.

Answer 3

Silicon (IPA: /ˈsɪlikən/, Latin: silicium) is the chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Si and atomic number 14.

Most silicon atoms have 14 neutrons, but there are isotopes with 15 or 16


28 Si 92.23% Si is stable with 14 neutrons
29 Si 4.67% Si is stable with 15 neutrons
30 Si 3.1% Si is stable with 16 neutrons

Answer 4

14 protons + 14 neutrons = 28 amus. amus are atomic mass instruments. The atomic mass is the mass of the protons + neutrons because of the fact the mass of the electrons is negligible. BTW the ingredient in question is Silicon.

Answer 5

14 of each

Answer 6

there are 14 proton and 14nuetrons are there.
