How many neutrons does an element have if its atomic number is 46 and its mass number is 166?
jolli1 [7]

To find the number of neutrons in an atom, you subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass (aproximate weight of an atom = neutrons + protons). Therefore the number of neutrons is:

166 - 46 = 120
