They both have 15 protons and an atomic number of 15. They also both have a 0 charge and 15 electrons in their atom. The main difference between them is that P-31 has 16 neutrons in the nucleus whereas p-32 has 17.

Phosphurus-30 and Phosphorus-31 are isotopes (atoms with different amount of neutrons). Both have 15 protons and 15 electrons but phosphurus-30 has 15 neutrons and phosphurus-31 has 16 neutrons.

Is there any isotopes in phosphorus?

Yes, the most stable isotopes are 31P, 32P, and 33P. 31P is stable with 16 neutrons. 32P has a half-life of 14.28 days with 17 neutrons. 33P has a half-life of 25.3 days with 18 neutrons.


Compared to 31P the radioactive isotope 32P has?

32 Phosphorus has 1 extra neutron. It's a really cool radionuclide to since scientists use it to radiolabel lots of small molecules.


What is the relationshio between 31P 32P 33P in chemistry?

Number of Nuetrons


How many neutrons does phosphours have?

There are several isotopes of Phosphorus (P), all of which have 15 protons. Only one stable isotope exists in nature, having 16 neutrons. 31P has 16 neutrons 32P has 17 neutrons (synthesized radioisotope) 33P has 18 neutrons (synthesized radioisotope)


Why can 32p be used to make any nucleotide?

All nucleotides have a phosphorus atom that can be replaced with 32P


The number of neutrons in P?

P or Phosphorous occurs naturally as 31P and has 16 neutrons. There are two synthetic isotopes which are 32P and 33P which have 17 and 18 neutrons, respectively, but both do not occur naturally in nature and have half-lives of around half a month to a month.


What radioactive isotope did hershey and chase use to tag phage DNA?

phosphorus - 32P


Which subatomic particles are found in a 32P-3 ion?

protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of all atoms. Phosphorus always has a total of 15 protons so if it is 32P then the number of neutrons must be 17because 32 is the total mass of the atom.

What reaction is used to radioactivley label DNA?

DNA is labeled a radioactive phosphorus because when Alfred looked at the examples 32p always pelleted with bacteria but the new Phage made by these infected bacteria contained Radioactive 32p which is why its labeled Radioactive phosphorus.
