there are 121 neutrons in Mercury
This is CORRECT. The number of protons (80) is equal to the number of electrons and it is also the atomic number. You can figure out the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic weight by the atomic number.
For example: Mercury
Atomic number: 80
Atomic weight: 201
--> 201 - 80 = 121 which is the number of neutrons
BTW this works with all the elements on the Periodic Table

How many neutrons are present in Hg?
The number of neutrons in an atom of mercury depends on the isotope. The most common mercury isotope has 122. The average number of neutrons in an atom of mercury is about 120.
Mercury has an atomic number of 80 and a mass number of 200 How many neutrons are in one atom of mercury?
In one atom of mercury with a mass number of 200, there are 120 neutrons (mass number - atomic number = number of neutrons).
Mercury-202 has how many neutrons in its nucleus?
Mercury has the atomic number 80 so has 80 protons. Work out the neutrons by taking the protons away from the total mass. Other isotopes of mercury are mercury-196, 197, 198, 201, 202 and 204. Each will have a different number of neutrons, giving it a different mass, bat always the same number of protons. That means always the same number of electrons too, so therefore the same chemical behaviour.
What is the number of neutrons and electrons of mercury?
The atomic number of Mercury(Hg) is 80; since atomic number of an atom= No. of protons.Thus No. of protons in Mercury is 80. Also No. of protons = No. of electrons (In an neutral Atom; which is not an ion).Therefore No. of electrons is also 80. Next, Mass number(Atomic Mass) of Mercury is 160. Mass Number(Atomic Mass)= No. of Protons + No. of Neutrons. Hence calculating that we get No. of Neutrons also to be 80. FYI; Electrons have negligible mass so they are not included in calculating Mass of an atom, which only requires the nucleus which contains only protons and neutrons
An isotope of mercury has 80 protons and 120 neutrons What is the mass number of this isotope?
The sum of the neutrons and protons is the mass number (A)In this problems,the answer for mass number of mercury isotope is:80 protons + 120 neutrons = 200

How many neutrons does element mercury have?
121
How many protrons and neutrons does Mercury have?
All I know is that Mercury has 80 protons.
How many subatomics particles are in mercury?
As all atoms mercury contain protons, neutrons and electrons. Mercury has 80 electrons and protons and a variable number of neutrons - depending on the isotope.

Mercury has an atomic number of 80 and a mass number of 200 How many neutrons are in one atom of mercury?
In one atom of mercury with a mass number of 200, there are 120 neutrons (mass number - atomic number = number of neutrons).
How many prtons and nuetrons are in an element with an atomic number of 80?
An element with an atomic number of 80 is mercury (Hg). Mercury has 80 protons and approximately 121 neutrons in its most common isotope, mercury-201 (since 201 - 80 = 121 neutrons).
Mercury-202 has how many neutrons in its nucleus?
Mercury has the atomic number 80 so has 80 protons. Work out the neutrons by taking the protons away from the total mass. Other isotopes of mercury are mercury-196, 197, 198, 201, 202 and 204. Each will have a different number of neutrons, giving it a different mass, bat always the same number of protons. That means always the same number of electrons too, so therefore the same chemical behaviour.
How many neutrons are in 202Hg?
There are 120 neutrons in 202Hg. Mercury-202 has an atomic number of 80, which means it has 80 protons. Neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass.
Protons neutrons and electrons for mercury?
portons 80 neutrons 121 electrons 80
How many neutrons and protons are in the nucleus of the element mercury?
114-124 and 80 (That's what wikipedia is good for, dummy)
