Meitnerium is an artificially made chemical and has an atomic number of 109. If the element is neutral, it will have the same number of electrons and protons. The number of protons of an atom is usually the same as the number of neutrons.

Since, in this example it is given that the reaction releases a certain amount of neutron then the answer should be 266209 Mt.
