  • Strontium-90 Neutrons: Calculating the Number & Understanding Its Properties
    Strontium-90 has 52 neutrons.

    Here's how to figure that out:

    * Atomic Number: Strontium (Sr) has an atomic number of 38, meaning it has 38 protons.

    * Mass Number: Strontium-90 has a mass number of 90.

    * Neutrons: To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass number: 90 - 38 = 52.
