What is the identity of an atom with 15 protons?
An atom with 15 protons is an atom of phosphorus (P).
What is atomic mass A and neutron number N for given atom?
Atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons that make up an atom. The neutron number is only the number of neutrons present in the atom. This can be found by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass.
Is a neutron smaller than an atom?
An atom is larger than a neutron; a neutron is a part of any atom except a hydrogen atom.
Is there any atom in which number of protons neutron and electron is 60?
calcium
A small particle in the nucleus of atom with no electrical charge?
A Neutron - The nucleus of an atom consists of a number of protons and neutrons - with electrons 'orbiting' the nucleus like tiny planets.
How do you calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom?
You calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom by : atomic mass - atomic number = neutron number. :) hope this helps
Is it true that in an indivisual neutron atom the number of protons always equals the number of electrons?
There is no 'neutron atom'. If you mean 'neutral' atom, then the answer is yes.
When radioactive phosphorus decay it emits a positron will the resulting nucleus be another isotope of phosphorus?
No, whenever an atom emits a positron its atomic number is decreases by one unit (because a proton is converted into a neutron and a positron) but atomic mass remains the same so phosphorus is converted into silicon atom with same atomic mass.
What is the identity of an atom with 15 protons?
An atom with 15 protons is an atom of phosphorus (P).
What is the number of electrons in the atom phosphorus's?
The atomic number of phosphorus is 15. So there are 15 protons and 15 electrons in phosphorus.
How many protons are in an atom of phosphorous?
All phosphorus atoms have 15 protons (hence their atomic number of fifteen). Assuming the atom is neutral, it will also have an equal amount of electrons.
What is the number of neutron in one atom of barium?
82
What is atomic mass A and neutron number N for given atom?
Atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons that make up an atom. The neutron number is only the number of neutrons present in the atom. This can be found by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass.
How many protons are in a atom of phosphorus?
The atomic number of phosphorus is 15. So there are 15 protons
How do you determine an atom's mass number?
mass number= no. of protons + no. of neutron
What is the name of the number neutrons of an atom?
Of course, number of neutrons or neutron number !
What is another term for neutron number?
In a neutral atom the protons and neutrons are equal; protons are determined by the element's atomic number. Therefore, the "neutron number" can refer to the atomic number- in a neutral atom only.
