That depends upon what it is you wish to determine. If you wish to determine only its mass (or weight), you can use a scale. Or for greater masses, like that of stars you can measure its gravitational effects on light passing it, because gravity bends light; the amount the light is bent shows fairly accurately the gravitational pull of the star, which can then be used to determine its mass. If, however, you wish to determine its composition, well, that's another kettle of fish. There are myriad tests used by analysts and scientists to assay substances.

Which element has 7 protons and 8 neutron?

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 8 proton 8 neutrons and 10 electrons?

The element that has 9 protons is fluorine. Its atomic number is 9, indicating that the element has 9 protons in the nuclei of its atoms. If there are 10 electrons, then the fluorine atom has gained an electron and is now a negatively charged anion with a charge of 1-.


What element has 8 protons 8 electrons and 7 neutrons?

The element with 8 protons is oxygen (symbol O). It normally has 8 electrons as well, but in this case it has one extra electron, making it an ion. With 7 neutrons, the ion is known as oxygen-15.

Nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15 are isotopes of the same element. How do these isotopes?

Nitrogen-14 has 7 protons, 7 electrons, and 7 neutrons. Nitrogen-15 has 7 protons, 7 electrons and 8 neutrons. So, the only way they differ is in the NUMBER OF NEUTRONS.
