Nitrogen always has 7 protons, otherwise it is not Nitrogen. Nitrogen 20 means that there are 20 protons. Unless it has an ionic bond, then there are also 7 electrons. If it is an ion, then there are 10 electrons.

An isotope of nitrogen could have more protons neutron electrons?

An isotope of nitrogen will always have 7 protons, as this defines the element. However, it can have a different number of neutrons, thus changing the mass number of the isotope. The number of electrons in an isotope is equal to the number of protons to maintain overall charge neutrality.


How does a neutron have same number of protons and electrons?

a neutron is neutral. it doesn't have the same number of protons and electrons, but an atom that is neutral does. A neutron has the same mass as a proton but it doesn't have a chrge. Protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged.


Nitrogen gas and CO have equal number of neutron proton and electron Why?

ok N has 14 protons and electrons. C has 12 protons and electrons. O has 16 protons and electrons. nitrogen gas is not N, it is N2, which means 28 protons and electrons. C and O added up is also 28.


How many protons neutrons and electrons are in a nitrogen 15?

7 protons , 8 neutrons and 7 electrons in the neutral atom. Nitrogen has an atomic number of 7. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. In the neutral atom this is also the number of electrons . The "15" in nitrogen-15 is the mass number, the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Taking 7 from 15 there are therefore 8 neutrons in nitrogen-15.


Nitrogen consists of what?

Nitrogen is made up of seven protons and seven electrons (I'm not 100% sure about the electrons part), and the number of neutrons varies depending on the isotope. (N21 has 14 neutrons, N8 has one neutron)


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.


How many protons neutrons and electrons make up atom of nitrogen-15?

7 protons 7 electrons 8 neutrons


What is the subatomic particles of nitrogen?

Nickel has 28 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a nickel isotope = Mass number -28


Is N and CO have same number of neutron electron and proton?

N2, the common divalent form of nitrogen, does have the same number of protons and electrons as carbon monoxide. If both nitrogen atoms are nitrogen-14, the carbon atom is carbon-12, and the oxygen atom is oxygen-16, diatomic nitrogen also has the same number of neutrons as CO. Contrary to the fact for atoms, however, molecules with the same numbers of protons, electrons, and neutrons do not always have the same chemical properties.


Does a neutron atom had the same number if protons as it does electrons?

Yes i believe it does.


When an atom has seven protons how many electrons does it have?

Generally an atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Nitrogen has seven protons.


How many protons neutron and electrons calcium?

Calcium has 20 protons and electrons and a number of neutrons different for each isotope..
