Number of neutrons :

Argon=22

Boron=6

Further explanation

There are two components that accompany an element, the mass number and atomic number

Atoms are composed of 3 types of basic particles (subatomic particles): protons, electrons, and neutrons

The Atomic Number (Z) indicates the number of protons and electrons in an atom of an element.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons ⇒ neutral number

Atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons

Atomic Number (Z) = Atomic mass (A) - Number of Neutrons

Argon has an atomic number of 18 and a mass number of 39,948

number of neutrons =


\tt 39.948-18=21,948\approx 22

Boron has an atomic number of 5 and a mass number of 10,811

number of neutrons =


\tt 10.811-5=5.811\approx 6
