There are 15 protons in 31P. All isotopes and ions of the same elements will have the same number of protons regardless of the difference in the number of neutrons or electrons. So the information about which isotope is (by saying P-31) is unneeded.

The atomic number of phosphorus is 15. So there are 15 protons and 15 electrons.In P-32 isotope, there are 17 (32 - 15 = 17) neutrons
