As an example, take Americium 241 - 241 is the atomic weight. It is Atomic number 95 in the Periodic Table and so there are 95 protons. There are thus 241 -95 = 146 neutrons. That principle applies to all the elements.

How many neutrons are in one atom?

The number of neutrons in one atom can vary depending on the element. Neutrons are one of the three main subatomic particles found in an atom, along with protons and electrons. The number of neutrons in an atom is calculated by subtracting the number of protons (atomic number) from the atomic mass of the atom.
