    Pb-210 and Pb-206 are isotopes of the Lead atom. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have same number of protons, but differ in the number of neutrons. The numbers 210 and 206 represent the mass numbers or the sum of the protons and neutrons in an atom's element.

    For Pb-210,

    210 = protons + neutrons

    210 = protons + 128

    protons = 82

    Therefore, for Pb-206,

    206 = protons + neutrons

    206 = 82 + neutrons

    neutrons = 124

    Therefore, the number of neutrons in Pb-206 atom is 124. Actually, you don't need to know the number of neutrons in Pb-128 because the number of protons of Pb is known already. It has an atomic number of 82.
