Answer: 27 neutrons
Explanation:
Recall that the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom = Atomic number.
Hence, Calcium with mass number 47 and atomic number 20 will have 20 protons
Therefore, since Mass number = number of protons + neutrons
47 = 20 + neutrons
Neutrons = 47 - 20 = 27
Thus, there are 27 neutrons in radioactive calcium nucleus.
