The correct answer is It has equal numbers of neutrons and protons.

A characteristic that can be physically determined, the atomic mass of an atom is equal to the total mass of the protons, neutrons, and electrons that make up the atom. The number of protons in the atom's nucleus is indicated by the atomic number. It is equal to the atomic number in value. Moving over the periodic table causes the nuclear charge to grow. The charge is filled when the electrons approach the protons.

The protons and neutrons of an atom are added to determine the mass number. Therefore, the mass number for each atom will be twice the atomic number (number of protons) if the number of protons (atomic number) and neutrons are identical.

We simply asked to name three uses for mercury.
The most common and well-known use of mercury is the production of thermometers. It's property to stay liquid at room temperature makes it ideal for a temperature indicator. However, the use of mercury is thermometers has been phased out due to health hazards.
It is also used to form an amalgam which is the result of its combination with silver or gold. Mercury has been used to mine gold and silver. This application has also been phased out.
Today's use of mercury includes mercury-vapor lamps which are the bright lamps used in high-ways.
