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.
the phosphorus-32 has an extra Neutron from the phosphorus-31 making it unstable
Assuming you are referring to Phosphorus (element No. 15):
31P has 16 neutrons, whereas 32P has 17 neutrons.
31p has 16 neutrons, whereas 32p has 17 neutrons
31P has 16 neutrons, whereas 32P has 17 neutrons.
31P has 31 neutrons, whereas 32P has 32 neutrons

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.
32 Phosphorus has 1 extra neutron. It's a really cool radionuclide to since scientists use it to radiolabel lots of small molecules.
Number of Nuetrons
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)
All nucleotides have a phosphorus atom that can be replaced with 32P
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.
phosphorus - 32P
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.
50p - 32p = 18p
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.
The isotope 32X (with subscript 15) is phosphorus(32P).The upper number is the atomic mass number and the lower is the atomic number.
Phosphorus-31 contains 16 neutrons, 15 protons and it is Stable
