Naturally-occuring zinc has several isotopes, between zinc-64 and zinc-70. Since its atomic number (number of protons) is 30, that means it has between 34 and 40 neutrons, depending on the specific isotope.

there are 36
Zn has an atomic mas of 65.38 and an atomic number of 30.

65.38 - 30 = about 35.

Therefore, Zinc has 35 neutrons.
