Germanium-72 has 32 protons and 40 neutrons. In nuclear physics nomenclature, the number represents the total number of protons and neutrons. Since all germanium isotopes have 32 protons, the remaining value after subtracting 32 is the number of neutrons (ex. 72-32 = 40).

How many neutrons are there in germanium atom of mass number 73?

Germanium has an atomic number of 32. The mass number of any isotope is defined as the sum of the numbers of neutrons and protons in each atomic nucleus, and the number of protons is the same as the atomic number. Therefore, the number of neutrons in Ge-73 is 73 - 32 or 41.
