Question

Write a brief passage describing a neutral atom of nitrogen-14 (N-14). Describe the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom, where each type of particle is located, and how the terms atomic number, mass number, and atomic mass are related to the particles. Use the periodic table to help you.

Answer 1

Answer:

(b) The atomic number of strontium (listed inside the front cover) is 38. Thus, all atoms of this element have 38 protons and 38 electrons. The strontium-90 isotope has 90 – 38 = 52 neutrons. Magnesium has three isotopes, with mass numbers 24, 25, and 26.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

There are 7 protons, 7 neutrons and 7 electrons in Nitrogen-14. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while electrons are located in electron shells. The number of protons determines the element's atomic number, the number of protons AND neutrons combined determine the element's mass number, and the average of the masses of all isotopes determines an element's atomic mass.
