Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the Atomic Number of Copper

The atomic number of copper (Cu) is 29. This means a neutral copper atom has 29 protons and 29 electrons.

Step 2: Determine the Mass Number of Copper-64

The mass number of copper-64 is 64. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Step 3: Calculate the Number of Neutrons

To find the number of neutrons, subtract the number of protons from the mass number: \[ \text{Number of neutrons} = 64 - 29 = 35 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{29, 35, 29}\)
