14

Explanation:

The number of neutrons in one atom of silicon with an isotopic mass number of 28amu is 14.

An atom is made up three fundamental sub-atomic particles which are:

  Protons, neutron and electrons

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom

Neutrons do not carry any charges

Electrons are the negatively charged particles.

In the nucleus of an atom, both protons and neutrons can be found. They are the massive particle in an atom.

  The mass number of an atom = number of protons + number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons.

From the periodic table, we know that silicon has an atomic number of 14.

The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom:

         Number of neutrons = 28 - 14 = 14amu

In the atom, we will have 14amu of neutrons in a silicon atom.

How do I identify significant figures in chemistry?
Komok [63]
1) START counting for sig. figs. On the FIRST non-zero digit.

2) STOP counting for sig. figs. On the LAST non-zero digit.

3) Non-zero digits are ALWAYS significant.

4) Zeroes in between two non-zero digits are significant. All other zeroes are insignificant.
