Answer:

If I is the atomic symbol for the element one has

15 at the upper left of the element indicating an atomic weight of 15 (7 protons and 8 neutrons in the nucleus

7 is at the lower left indicating an atomic number of 7 (the 7 protons in the nucleus)

One would use a + sign as I+ to indicate a single charge since the atom is one electron short of neutrality
