Joel Schaefer · Answer 1

Atomic number is 48, and shows the number of protons, and electrons.

Correct answer is 48 protons, 48 electrons, and 72 neutrons.

You can check the number of neutrons.

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.

120=48 + number of neutrons

number of neutrons = 120 - 48 = 72
