There is no "average," though I suppose you could find one by adding up the number of neutrons and dividing by the number of elements...
Atoms belong to certain elements and are classified by the amount of neutrons they have. Each element has atoms which have a different number of neutrons in them (such as Hydrogen, the atoms of which have one neutron each.)
Also, the number of neutrons always equals the number of protons the atom has, so if you want to know how many neutrons a specific atom has, you can always look it up on the Periodic Table of Elements.

How many neutrons are in the atom of sodium?
12
How many particles are in the atom of Sodium?
A neutral sodium atom consists of 11 protons, 11 electrons, and usually 12 neutrons.
If a particular isotope of sodium has a mass of 23 how many neutrons does it have?
An atom of Sodium weighs the same as 23 protons.
How many neutrons does sodium have in its nucleus?
There are 12 neutrons in a Sodium atom. To determine the number of neutrons in a specific element's atom, find the number of protons (its atomic number, which in this case is 11) and subtract it from the mass number (the number below the symbol in a periodic table rounded which in this case is 23).Sodium23 has 12 neutrons.there are 12 neutrons in a sodium atom
How many neutrons and protons does neutral atom of sodium with an atomic mass number of 23 have?
Every sodium atom has 11 protons, the atomic number of sodium. The isotope with mass number 23 has (23 - 11) or 12 neutrons, because the mass number of an isotope is defined as the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the isotope.

Does a sodium atom have fewer neutrons in its nucleus than an iron atom?
Yes. Sodium has 12 neutrons whereas iron has 30 neutrons for their most stable isotpe.
If a particular isotope of sodium has a mass of 23 how many neutrons does it have?
An atom of Sodium weighs the same as 23 protons.

What is the charge of a sodium nucleus?
Sodium has 12 neutrons; all neutrons are neutral particles.
