Answer: By definition, if  the atomic number  = 7 , then there are 7 protons, 7 electrons, and 8 neutrons!

Explanation:

The atomic number is by definition the number of protons, positively charged particles, contained within the atomic nucleus. So if there are 7 protons, there MUST be 7 electrons, 7 negatively charged particles. Why? Because matter is electrically neutral, and positive and negative particles must be equal.

Electrons have negligible mass; the mass number depends on the number of protons contained within the nucleus, PLUS the number of neutrons. Given that we have  15  N , there must be 8 neutrons contained within the nucleus.  does this help?

Why do humans, as one of many on this planet, have the greatest potential to impact all other species?
sdas [7]
Because our brains are the most developed out of all of the other species on this planet. Also, we require the most maintenance to survive. We can’t live in the ocean, such as a fish, shark, dolphin, etc. but we also can’t live in the forest such as bears, deer, coyotes, etc. we need to live in a stable environment when we will have enough food to survive as well to live in certain temperatures that are best suited for our kind. Hopefully that helped a little bit
