The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the given species. Let's break it down step by step. ### (i) For the species \(_{15}^{31}P\): 1. **Identify the Atomic Number (Z)**: - The atomic number is given as 15. This represents the number of protons in the atom. - **Number of Protons = 15** 2. **Identify the Mass Number (A)**: - The mass number is given as 31. This represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the atom. - **Mass Number (A) = 31** 3. **Calculate the Number of Neutrons**: - The number of neutrons can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Number of Neutrons} = \text{Mass Number} - \text{Number of Protons} \] - Substituting the values: \[ \text{Number of Neutrons} = 31 - 15 = 16 \] 4. **Determine the Number of Electrons**: - Since the species is neutral, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. - **Number of Electrons = 15** ### Summary for (i): - **Protons = 15** - **Neutrons = 16** - **Electrons = 15** --- ### (ii) For the species \(_{15}^{31}P^{3-}\): 1. **Identify the Atomic Number (Z)**: - The atomic number is still 15, indicating the number of protons. - **Number of Protons = 15** 2. **Identify the Mass Number (A)**: - The mass number remains 31. - **Mass Number (A) = 31** 3. **Calculate the Number of Neutrons**: - Using the same formula as before: \[ \text{Number of Neutrons} = \text{Mass Number} - \text{Number of Protons} \] - Substituting the values: \[ \text{Number of Neutrons} = 31 - 15 = 16 \] 4. **Determine the Number of Electrons**: - The species has a charge of -3, indicating that it has gained 3 additional electrons. - Therefore, the number of electrons is: \[ \text{Number of Electrons} = \text{Number of Protons} + 3 = 15 + 3 = 18 \] ### Summary for (ii): - **Protons = 15** - **Neutrons = 16** - **Electrons = 18** --- ### Final Answers: - For \(_{15}^{31}P\): - Protons: 15 - Neutrons: 16 - Electrons: 15 - For \(_{15}^{31}P^{3-}\): - Protons: 15 - Neutrons: 16 - Electrons: 18 ---
