If you know the atomic weight of the element then round off the weight to the nearest whole number and you will get the atomic weight of that element. Subtract the atomic number from the atomic weight and you will get the atomic mass or the number of neutrons of that element.
For example:
Sodium's atomic number is 11 and its atomic weight is 22.989. So, sodium contains 11 protons and its mass number is 23.
Applying the formula above, the number of neutrons will be:
number of neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic mass
Number of neutrons = 23 - 11
Number of neutrons = 12
Hence, there are are 12 neutrons in an atom of sodium.
