Neon has 10 neutrons
Isotopes.
For an neutral element that has the same number of electrons and protons, the element with 11 electrons is Na, sodium.
The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom. If the mass number is 75 and the number of neutrons is 42, then the number of protons would be 75 - 42 = 33. Since atoms are electrically neutral, the number of electrons in the atom would also be 33.
Atoms of Magnesium have 12 electrons. Elements in the periodic table with a neutral charge must all have a number of electrons equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. Since Magnesium has an atomic number of 12, and the atomic number is also known as the PROTON number, then it must also have 12 electrons to balance out the charge. Magnesium has an atomic mass of about 24 - the other 12 units of mass being made up of neutrons.
An isotone is a group of atomic nuclei that have the same neutron number but different atomic numbers. This means isotones have the same number of neutrons but different numbers of protons. Isotones are different from isotopes, which have the same atomic number but different numbers of neutrons.

''CA" (CAlCiUM)
Atoms of all elements can have neutrons in them. Only the element hydrogen has an isotope whose atoms do not contain neutrons, but all other isotopes of hydrogen have neutrons in them. In the heavier elements the number of neutrons always exceeds the number of protons in the atom.
The Atomic Mass is 17
The number of electrons corresponds to the "index" number of the element in the periodic table. The 8th element is Oxygen, which has 8 atoms when neutral. That didnt answer the question. ANSWER Neon has 8 electrons :)

The atomic mass of an element is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. In this case, the element has 7 protons and 8 neutrons, so the atomic mass would be 7 + 8 = 15 atomic mass units.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. This results in isotopes having the same chemical properties but different atomic masses.
An element is a substance whose atoms all contain the same number of protons and the same number of electrons. The number of protons in an element's atom determines its atomic number and defines its chemical identity.
The atomic number of an element _is_ the number of electrons in one of its atoms. Indeed, a sample of an element can be defined as any combination of atoms with the same atomic number. Oxygen is the element with atomic number 8. It is the element whose atoms have 8 electrons in their neutral state (and 8 protons).
The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom. If the mass number is 75 and the number of neutrons is 42, then the number of protons would be 75 - 42 = 33. Since atoms are electrically neutral, the number of electrons in the atom would also be 33.
