How many protons neutrons and electrons does a neutral atom of phosphorous have?
15 protons, 15 electrons and 16 neutrons (for its most stable isotope)
Is an atom a oxygen atom or carbon atom?
That would depend on how many protons exist in the nucleus of the atom. An atom with 6 protons is a carbon atom; 7 protons is nitrogen, and 8 = oxygen.
How many protons are in one atom of silicon?
There are 14 protons in one atom of Silicon
Can an atomic number tell you how many protons an atom has?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
How many protons does the fluorine atom have?
There are 9 protons in the element fluorine.
How many protons does a neutral atom phosphorous have?
Phosphorus always has 15 protons; that is the definition of the element.
How many protons in P?
P is a p block non metal. Atom contains 15 protons.
How many protons neutrons and electrons does a neutral atom of phosphorous have?
15 protons, 15 electrons and 16 neutrons (for its most stable isotope)
Which atom contains exactly 15 protons?
The element that has 15 protons in it's protons is phosphorus (P).
How many protons are in phosphorous?
15.
How many protons does Phosphorous have?
15
If an atom contains 15 protons it must contain?
Any atom should have equal number of protons and electrons. If the atom contains 15 protons then it must contain 15 electrons.
How many protons and neutrons does phospherus have?
Phosphorous has 15 protons and 16 neutrons.
How many protons and valence electons are in phosphorous?
6
How many protons in Aragon atom?
There are 18 protons in an Aragon atom.
How many protons does an atom of copper?
An atom of copper has 29 protons.
How many protons and neutrons are in phosphorous-32?
Well phosphorous always has 15 protons and even in different isotopes of an element the proton (atomic) number will be the same..So even in phosphorous-32, there are 15 protons.. If it is phosphorous-32 then the total of the protons and the neutrons is 32.. 15 protons...So to get the number of neutrons do 32 minus 15 = 7 neutrons.. Just to note, the number of electrons is of course the same as the number of protons so it is 15
