Elements are determined by their number of protons. Nitrogen has 7 protons but usually 7 neutrons as well. What you have here is a nitrogen isotope, an element with more or less neutrons than there are protons. Specifically, this is Nitrogen-15.

What element has 7 electrons and 7 protons and 8 neutrons?

The element with 7 electrons, 7 protons, and 8 neutrons is nitrogen-15 (15N).


WHAT IS AN ATOM CONTAINING 7 PROTONS 8 NEUTRONS AND 7 ELETRONS?

An atom with 7 protons, 8 neutrons, and 7 electrons is a nitrogen atom (atomic number 7). The number of protons determines the element, and in this case, it is nitrogen. The neutron count can vary within isotopes of the same element, and the electrons would normally balance the charge of the protons to keep the atom neutral.


What element has 8 neutrons 8 protons?

The element that has 8 protons and 8 neutrons is oxygen.


How many daltons does an element with 8 elecrtons and 8 neutrons and 8 protons have?

"Dalton" in this context has the same meaning as "atomic mass unit". Each proton and each neutron has one Dalton, while electrons have none. Therefore, the element in question has 16 daltons, and is in fact an atom of the most common isotope of oxygen, oxygen-16.


How many neutron are in oxygen?

There are 8 neutrons in oxygen. You can determine the number of neutrons in any element by subtracting the atomic number (which is 8 for oxygen) from the atomic mass, rounded to the nearest whole number (which is 16 for oxygen). This is because the mass of any element comes mainly from the protons and the neutrons - the mass of the electrons is too tiny to be a significant contribution. The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in an element, so when you subtract it from the element's total mass, you are left with the number of neutrons.

Can carbon have 8 protons?

No, carbon can not have 8 protons. The number of protons in an element can not vary. Carbon can only have 6 protons (the atomic number). If an element has 8 protons, it is oxygen.
