ATOM -
An atom is the smallest unit of matter.An atom consists of electrons that revolve around the nucleus.The nucleus is centrally located containing protons and neutrons.The atomic number is given by the number of electrons or protons in an atom.Atomic mass or nucleons number is the representation of the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.An element is represented as - X_A^ZXAZ where, X is the symbol of the element, Z is the atomic number, and A is the atomic mass.In the given element,
Given -
Protons - 7
Neutrons - 7
(i) Number of electrons = Number of protons
Therefore, number of electrons = 7
(ii) Nucleon number = Protons + Neutrons
Nucleons = 7 + 7 = 14
The element with atomic number 7 and atomic mass 14 is NITROGEN.
The chemical representation is -
N^7_1_4
