  • Polonium-209: Protons & Neutrons Explained - Atomic Number & Mass
    The number of protons in an element is equal to its atomic number. The atomic number of polonium is 84, so polonium-209 has 84 protons.

    The number of neutrons in an atom can be calculated by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass. Polonium-209 has an atomic mass of 209, so it has 209 - 84 = 125 neutrons.
