Question

There are 15 protons and 16 neautrons in nucleous of an element calculate its atomic no
​

Answer 1

Answer:

protons = 16

so atomic no.=no. of protons=no. of electrons

Answer 2

Answer:

$\large \underline{\boxed{Atomic No. = 15}}$

Explanation:

Given :

An element has 15 protons and 16 neutrons in its nucleus we need to find its atomic number

Answer :

Atomic Number of any element is decided by the number of protons prese in its nucleus , so here there are 15 protons in its nucleus thus atomic number of this element is 15.

More To Know

• Atomic number is represented by letter Z

• Atomic mass of any element is calculated by the mass the neutrons and protons present which are present in its nucleus.

• No. of protons = Number of elctrons in any element

• Thus all element or atom are neutral in nature
