If an element has a mass number of 232 and an atomic number of 93, how many neutrons does the element have

Explanation:

It is known that atomic mass is the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in an element.

And, atomic number is the sum of total number of protons present in an atom.

As it is mentioned that the given element has atomic mass 232 and its atomic number is 93. So, number of neutrons present in it are calculated as follows.

        Atomic mass = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                 232 = 93 + no. of neutrons

          no. of neutrons = 232 - 93

                                    = 139

Thus, we can conclude that given element has 139 neutrons.

you need to have a picture of the atom that way we can answer it
