Explanation: The mass number is a count of the number of particles in an atom's nucleus which is made up of protons and neutrons. In other words, Mass Number = Number of Protons + Number of Neutrons. The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element, 226 = 88 + number of Neutrons. So, the number of neutrons= 226 - 88= 138. |
