How many neutrons are in a Neon atom?

I just want to know the exact number of neutrons in a normal Neon atom, not an isotope or ion.

That can't really be answered because all weighted averages are taken from carbon 12 so you wouldn't have an exact number unless you took it from there.

3 seconds on wikipedia, and the answer is 10 (plus 10 protons).
