What is element 15? If it's the element on the Periodic Table with the atomic number 15, it would be Phosphorus which does have electrons, 15 of them. All elements on the periodic table have electrons.

∙ 14y agoIn an atom, there must be the same number of electrons and protons in order for it to be neutral. So, if this atom is neutral and has 15 electrons it must have 15 protons as well.
The number of protons is specific to each element. That is, every atom of an element has the same number of protons, and no two elements have the same number of protons in their atoms. So, there is only one element with 15 protons, and that element is Phosphorus. I found this by looking at the number in the periodic table.
The number of protons is equal to the number next to each element. Hydrogen has 1 proton, helium has 2, lithium has 3 and etc. The 15th element listed on the periodic table is Phosphorus, and therefore the answer is phosphorus.

What is the number of electrons in a neutral atom of an element on an periodic table?
There is none, but a neutral atom is called a neutron. There is no neutral element.
An element has an atomic number of 30 how many protons and electrons are in a neutral atom of the element?
It will have 30 protons and 30 electrons if the atom is neutral.
How do you find the number of protons or electrons in a neutral atom of an element?
in a neutral atom the no.of electrons and protons are the same. so what you have to only know is the atomic no.of that element
How do you calculate number of electrons of a given element?
You can only be sure of the number of electrons if the element is electrically neutral. If an element is electrically neutral, then the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons which is the atomic number of the element. For instance an electrically neutral atom of carbon, there are 6 electrons because there are 6 protons in a carbon atom.
How many electrons does the element samarium have?
a neutral atom, has 62
What is the number of electrons in a neutral atom of an element on an periodic table?

An element has an atomic number of 30 how many protons and electrons are in a neutral atom of the element?
It will have 30 protons and 30 electrons if the atom is neutral.
If you know the number of electrons in a neutral atom can you determine what the element is?
Yes, in a neutral atom the number of electrons and protons is equal, and it is the number of protons that determines what element the atom is. So, by looking at the number of electrons you can tell what element it is.
What element has eighteen electrons?
As a neutral atom (When it is not an ion) the element argon has eighteen electrons.
How do you find the number of protons or electrons in a neutral atom of an element?
in a neutral atom the no.of electrons and protons are the same. so what you have to only know is the atomic no.of that element
Is it true that the number of electrons in an element is the same for all neutral atom of that element?
Yes, this is true for electrons (and protons) of all neutral atoms of an element.
What number of an element can be used to determine the number of electrons in an atom?
The Atomic Number of an element is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element and/or the number of electrons a in neutral atom of that element.
What element is metallic 29 electrons?
The neutral atom of copper has 29 electrons.
What number of electrons in a neutral atom of an element will be equal to?
The amount of electrons is balanced by the same amount of protons in a neutral atom, such as for the neutral hydrogen atom; it has 1 proton and 1 electron.
How do you calculate number of electrons of a given element?
You can only be sure of the number of electrons if the element is electrically neutral. If an element is electrically neutral, then the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons which is the atomic number of the element. For instance an electrically neutral atom of carbon, there are 6 electrons because there are 6 protons in a carbon atom.
How many electrons does the element samarium have?
a neutral atom, has 62
What is the number of electrons for the element antimony in a neutral atom?
Each neutral atom of antimony contains 51 electrons, the same as the atomic number of antimony.
