The number of neutrons for curium is 146.
- To determine the number of neutrons in an element: Subtract the atomic number from the mass number of the element.
- Mass number is represented as (A) and atomic number is represented as (Z) and neutrons are represented as (N).
We need to find neutrons for curium:
[tex]^{242}Cm_{96}[/tex]
Atomic number (Z)=96
Mass number(A) =242
Number of neutrons= A-Z= 242-96=146
Hence, the number of neutrons for curium is 146.
