1. How many Protons, Neutrons, and Electron are present in Mercury – 201?

201
80 Hg Protons = 80 - Atomic number

201
80 Hg Neutrons = mass no. – atomic no.
Neutrons = 201 – 80 = 121
Neutrons = 121

201
80 Hg Electrons = Protons = Electrons
Electrons = 80

201
80 Hg Nucleons = Protons + Electrons
Nucleons = 201
