How many protons, neutrons, and electrons are present in this isotope of nitrogen? 7 protons, 15 neutrons, 0 electrons

7 protons, 8 neutrons, 0 electrons

7 protons, 8 neutrons, 7 electrons

15 protons, 7 neutrons, 8 electrons

7 protons, 8 neutrons, 7 electrons

Explanation:

Protons, electrons and neutrons are three sub-atomic particles present in an atom. Protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus while electrons are present outside the nucleus.

The number of protons, which is also the ATOMIC NUMBER, is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom (no overall charge). In this case, the number of protons is 7, however, since the charge of this Nitrogen atom is 0, it means that the number of electrons is also 7.

The mass number, denoted by A, is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom i.e.

A = number of proton + number of neutron.

In this case of Nitrogen isotope where the mass number is 15, the number of neutron will be mass number - number of protons i.e. 15 - 7 = 8.

Therefore, the number of protons, neutrons and electrons are 7, 8 and 7 respectively.

hi there!

your question asks at which segment does freezing occur.

since we're talking about water, the freezing point of water will be 32 degrees fahrenheit or below.

hope this ! ~

hi,

what occurs during a solar eclipse?

there are small tides across earth.

the moon is between earth and the sun.

p.s. im not sure if the first answer is correct because during a solar ecliphse there are spring tides and i dont know if they are the same.
