vivado [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

120 neutrons

Explanation:

Mercury has an atomic number of 80. The atomic number (Z) represents the number of protons. Then,

Z = p⁺ = 80

Mercury has a mass number of 200. The mass number (A) represents the sum of protons and neutrons. Then,

A = p⁺ + n° = 200

We can establish that,

A = Z + n°

n° = A - Z

n° = 200 - 80 = 120
