Barker · Answer 1

A will equal the mass number. The mass number consists of the sum of protons and neutrons.

z = the number of protons. Therefore, there are 36 protons.

Furthermore, the mass number will be a=92-36. We are subtracting the amount of protons from the mass number to find the number of neutrons.

In other words a=56. So, there are 56 neutrons.
