By far the most common isotope (99.634% of all nitrogen) of Nitrogen 14N has the same number, but there are other isotopes (eg 15N) which have a different number ( 15N has 8 neutrons and 7 protons).

How many protons neutrons and electrons are in a nitrogen 15?

7 protons , 8 neutrons and 7 electrons in the neutral atom. Nitrogen has an atomic number of 7. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. In the neutral atom this is also the number of electrons . The "15" in nitrogen-15 is the mass number, the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Taking 7 from 15 there are therefore 8 neutrons in nitrogen-15.


Why must the number of protons and neutrons be equal?

The number of protons and neutrons is not equal. The equality is not a rule.


How many neutrons and protons does Nitrogen-14 have?

Nitrogen is a non metal element. Atomic Mass of it is 14.


Is An atom of Nitrogen with 7 protons 7 neutrons and 8 electrons an ion isotope or average atom?

This atom of Nitrogen with 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 8 electrons is an isotope, specifically nitrogen-14. It is not an ion because it has an equal number of protons and electrons, so its charge is neutral. It is also not an average atom, as it has a specific number of protons and neutrons that define it as a particular isotope.


An isotope of nitrogen could have more protons neutron electrons?

An isotope of nitrogen will always have 7 protons, as this defines the element. However, it can have a different number of neutrons, thus changing the mass number of the isotope. The number of electrons in an isotope is equal to the number of protons to maintain overall charge neutrality.


What is the number of e- p and n in a neutral atom of nitrogen?

No. of protons is 7. No. of neutrons is atomic weight -no. of protons. In neutral atom no. of protons equals the number of electrons which would be 7 in this case. Refer to periodic table for more information.


Do electrons equal the sum of the number of neutrons and protons in an isotope?

No. The number of neutrons has no affect on the number of protons and electrons.


Does the number of neutrons always equal the number of protons?

No


What is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons?

If you add the number of protons to the number of neutrons in an atom, you have calculated that atom's atomic mass.


Is the atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons or neutrons in the nucleus?

Protons


What do you add to protons to equal mass number?

The mass number = protons + neutrons


An equal number of protons and neutrons typically results in an atom that is?

Often, but not always, atoms with an equal number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus are stable and not radioactive.
