# of neutrons = Mass Number - Number of Protons. To be able to apply this formula, refer to the atomic number and atomic weight of the elements. These two are listed in the Periodic Table of Elements. Take note that atomic number refers to the number of protons in an atom of an element.
The atomic number is the number of protons in every atom of that element. The number of electrons can change, forming ions, or the number of neutrons can change, forming isotopes, but the proton number defines the element. The modern periodic table orders the element by increasing atomic number.
