∙ 11y agoAlthough the number of neutrons does not directly correspond to an element, it gives a hint. The number of protons (which does distinguish elements) is close to the number of neutrons. Because it has the atomic number 20 and is found in teeth, the answer to the riddle is calcium.
Note: the element Calcium can contain between 20 and 28 neutrons. As is said above the number of neutrons in an atom does not uniquely identify that the element to which that atom belongs. Atoms of elements are characterized by the number of protons (and electrons) they contain - not neutrons.

∙ 14y agoThe number of neutrons in an atom is not unique to an element due to the existence of isotopes. However, the number of isotopes and protons in an element are generally very close. Thus, knowing this and that the element is found in teeth and bones, the element described is Calcium (which has 20 protons, the same number of neutron in this case).

Teeth are not organs, they are bones. I do not know if that helps a lot, but I do know that teeth are bones.
Where is the majority of the body's flouride stored?
teeth and bones
I have 20 neutrons and I am found in your teeth and bones?
Calcium is the answer. Atomic weight 40 - with 20 protons means 20 neutrons. Calcium is a key element in teeth and bones.
What element has 20 nuetrons and is found in your bones and teeth?
Calcium (Ca)
If I have 20 neutrons and I am found in your teeth and bones which element am I?
You are calcium. Most calcium atoms have 20 neutrons though 20 - 28 is possible, but it is the fact that they have 20 protons which makes them calcium.
