For starters, atoms are the basic building blocks of matter- they make up elements, molecules and compounds. Elements most often combine with other elements as compounds. Whilst molecules are particles found in both elements and compounds. I hope that wasn't too confusing, but bottom line is that they are all linked together in this way! Helpful? :)

the element nitrogen has an atomic number of 7 and an atomic mass of 14 how many protons, neutrons and electrons are in a atom o

Nat2105 [25]

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?
