Z is atomic number

A is atomic mass

N is number of neutrons

Z=A-N

79 = 179 - N

179-79=100

so number of neutrons is equal to 100

This is one thing you can get from that given.

The element is gold (Au). The atomic number (79) tells us the number of protons in the nucleus, which is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. The Atomic Mass (179) is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
