2) Base your answer on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry. Some isotopes of neon are Ne-19, Ne-20, Ne-21, Ne-22, and Ne-24. The neon-24 decays by beta emission. The atomic mass and natural abundance for the naturally occurring isotopes of neon are shown in the table below. Naturally Occurring Isotopes of Neon Isotope Notation | Atomic Mass (u) | Natural Abundance (%) Ne-20 | 19.99 | 90.48 Ne-21 | 20.99 | 0.27 Ne-22 | 21.99 | 9.25 State the number of neutrons in an atom of Ne-20 and the number of neutrons in an atom of Ne-22.
