To find the number of neutrons to include in the model of an atom, you need to subtract the atomic number from the mass number. The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom, while the mass number represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. By subtracting the atomic number from the mass number, you can determine the number of neutrons.
