Answer:
The correct option is: c. 15
Explanation:
Phosphorous is a chemical element which belongs to the group 15 of the periodic table and has atomic number 15. It is a highly reactive non-metal of the p-group.
Since, atomic number of an atom is the number of electrons and number of protons for neutral atoms.
So, the number of protons = number of electrons = 15
The atomic mass is obtained by adding the number of neutrons and the protons.
So, number of neutrons + number of protons = 30
So, number of neutrons + 15 = 30
Therefore, the number of neutrons in ³⁰P = 15
Answer:
Chemical reactions that absorb (or use) energy overall are called endothermic. In endothermic reactions, more energy is absorbed when the bonds in the reactants are broken than is released when new bonds are formed in the products.
All isotopes have the same number of protons and the same number of electrons. Because the electron structure is the same isotopes have the same chemical properties.
