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
