To find the number of electrons, just subtract the amu and the atomic number (aka number of protons or electrons)...

so it is...

9-4=5 neutrons

Brainliest plz! :)

How do you find the highest energy level?
joja [24]

Answer:

The larger the number of the energy level, the farther it is from the nucleus. Electrons that are in the highest energy level are called valence electrons. Within each energy level is a volume of space where specific electrons are likely to be located.

The atomic mass of helium-4 is 4.0026 amu. How many of each
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Protons: 2.

Electrons: 2.

Neutrons: 2.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since an atom's atomic number is equal to the number of electrons, considering the electron configurations, taking into account that helium-4 is neither positively nor negatively charged, we can infer that the number of electrons equal the number of protons, which in this case are 2, due to the fact that is atomic number is 2.

Moreover, as helium-4's atomic number is 4 as a whole number, we compute the number of neutrons by using the shown below equation:

Neutrons=mass\ number-atomic\ number\\\\Neutrons=4-2\\\\Neutrons=2

Regards.
