Question

Nitrogen has two naturally occurring isotopes.

Predict the number of neutrons in the two isotopes of
nitrogen, N.
How many protons?
Electrons?

Answer 1

Nitrogen has 7 protons and 7 electrons and 7 neutrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The atomic number of an element is the number of electrons and protons they have. The atomic mass - the atomic number of an element equals the number of nuetrons. The atomic mass of nitrogen is 14 and the atomic number is 7 therefore we have to subract, 14-7=7.
