Find the atomic number, atomic mass, number of protons, nuetrons, and electrons of the Nitrogen ion given the following information.
N-15 with a charge of -3
Atomic number:7
Atomic mass: 15
Number of protons: 7
Number of nuetrons:8
Number of electrons:10
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, this number defines what element the atom is. The atomic mass is found by adding the number of protons plus the number of nuetrons in the nucleus of an atom. This number is called mass number because protons and nuetrons together determine the majority of the mass of an atom. The number of protons can be found by looking at the large number in the upper left hand corner of the element on the periodic table. The amount of nuetrons is found by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. The number of electrons are determined by looking at the charge of an ion compared to the protons.
