Explanation:
You can simply subtract the atomic number from the mass number in order to find the number of neutrons. If the atom is neutral, the number of electrons will be equal to the number of protons. Remember!

Answer:
HOW TO FIND NEUTRONS AND ELECTRONS OF AN ATOM OF AN ELEMENT
THE ATOMIC NUMBER OF AN ATOM OF AN ELEMENT IS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ELECTRONS.
THE NUMBER OF ELECTRONS= THE NUMBER OF PROTONS
NO. OF NEUTRONS= MASS NUMBER- ATOMIC NUMBER
OR
NO. OF NEUTRONS= MASS NUMBER - NUMBER OF PRTONS
FOR EXAMPLE-:
THE MASS NUMBER OF SODIUM IS 23 AND THE ATOMIC NUMBER IS 11 ,
THE NUMBER OF NEUTRONS IS (23-11) = 12
AND THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ELECTRONS IS 11 AND THE TOTAL NUMBER PROTONS IS ALSO 11.
