A nitrogen isotope has an atomic number of 7 and an atomic mass of 15. the respective numbers of neutrons, protons, and electrons it has are _____.

Respuesta :

Atomic Number = amount of protons. Atomic mass = protons (7) and neutrons (8)


Electrons will be the protons - any charge the isotope has. For example, a +2 charge would make the electrons 7- (+2) = 5. A -2 charge would be electrons 7 - (-2) = 9
