The number of neurons in an atom is independent to the number of protons.
An atom containing 7 protons, 8 neutrons, and 7 electrons is a neutral isotope of nitrogen, specifically nitrogen-15 (N-15). The number of protons defines the element as nitrogen, while the number of neutrons contributes to its atomic mass, giving it a total of 15 (7 protons + 8 neutrons). The identical number of electrons ensures that the atom has no overall charge.
An atom is made up of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, with electrons orbiting around the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge. The number of protons determines the element's identity.

Mass number!:)
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So, in an atom with three protons, it would contain three electrons. The number of neutrons does not affect the charge or number of electrons in the atom.
protons and neutrons in an atom. It is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
The mass number is the sum of protons + neutrons.
20. the mass of an atom is determined by the sum of the number of neutrons and protons the atom has.
That would be the nucleus of the atom
That would be the nucleus.
