Protons, because electrons are equal to the atomic number and protons are equal to the number of electrons.

What is the atomic number of a nuetral atom with 15 electrons and 31 neutrons?

In an atom is neutral and has 15 electrons, then it also has 15 protons and therefore the atomic number is 15.


This element has 15 protons and 15 electrons in its neutral atom?

Protons are particles with a positive charge, and in order for your atom to be neutral the positive charge must be cancelled out by adding negative charges of the same value. Electrons are negatively charged. So adding 15 electrons to 15 protons would result in a neutral atom. Also since your atom contains 15 protons it must be Phosphorus, element number 15.

How many electrons are in a phosphorus atom?

There are 15 electrons in a phosphorus atom, but only if it is neutral. The element phosphorus, a nonmetal, is not found free in nature because it is reactive and has loaned out two or more electrons. It has a number of oxidation states ranging through 2, 3, 4 and 5 (and also a -3). The number electrons in a given phosphorus atom will vary depending on its chemical circumstances.
