Hello! Rutherford’s gold foil experiment was actually really cool. While he put a beam of alpha particles into a sheet of gold foil, a few of those particles were easily deflected. He soon discovered that the reason those particles being deflected was because a little tiny nucleus. He was the one who found out the nuclear theory of an atom. I hope this was one of your answers. If not, feel free to message me and tell me your options. I’ll help you as much as I can. Have a great day! :)

The ion p3− has _____ protons and _____ electrons. enter your answers as integers separated by a comma.'

The symbol $P$ is for phosphorus having atomic number 15. That means it has $15 protons and 15 electrons$ in its neutral state.

The given symbol $P^{3-}$ has a -3 charge that means it has gained 3 electrons so, the number of electrons in the $P^{3-}$ is: $15+3 = 18$ . The number of protons will remain same that is the number of protons = 15.
