An isotope of an element is having a different number of neutrons ex C12, C14...

In other words, they would have the same # of proton but different number of neutrons. So to determine the number of neutrons in an isotope of an atom, you need to subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass

For sure the answer is D

What is the mass number of an atom with 17 protons, 17 electrons, and 20 neutrons?
astra-53 [7]
The mass number of this particular element is 37

An element with 17 protons will ALWAYS be chlorine.
The mass number is found by adding the element’s protons and neutrons.
protons+neutrons=mass number

Here is the math if needed,
17+20=37

Therefore the mass number is 37

I hope this helped!
