    X is calcium and it has 21 neutrons

    Explanation:

    Calcium 41 is an isotope of calcium with mass number of 41 and atomic number of 20

    Number of neutrons = mass number - number of electrons

    The number of electrons is the same as the atomic number of the element (calcium)

    Number of neutrons = 41 - 20 = 21
