No. For an isotope of an element, the number of neutrons, not protons, in the nucleus of an atom of the isotope is equal to the isotopic mass number minus the atomic number. The atomic number itself is the number of protons in the nucleus.
By subtracting the mass number and the atomic number, the number of neutrons can be calculated.
The average number of neutrons that a specific element has is equivilent to the element's atomic mass minus the that elements atomic number. For example Helium has 2 neutrons because its atomic mass (4) minus the atomic number (2) is 2.
Yes, it is true.
The number of neutrons can be calculated if the atomic number and mass number of an element is known. The number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number.

It is not correct.
Yes, it is true.
Atomic weight of an element is the number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus, atomic number is the number of protons only.
Atomic mass minus the atomic number.
The number of neutrons is equal to the atomic mass of an isotope minus the atomic number (or the protons number) of the element. The atomic number of mendelevium is 101 and Md has isotopes with atomic masses between 245 and 260.
The number of neutrons can be calculated if the atomic number and mass number of an element is known. The number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number.
Roughly, the number of neutrons. Note that the atomic mass is only approximately equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons - there is a relatively small discrepancy, due to the binding energy.
The atomic number is the amount of protons which will equal the amount of electrons. The average atomic mass minus the number of protons will equal the amount of neutrons.
Mass number minus atomic number = number of neutrons
