Which of the following do the atoms ¹⁴N and ¹⁵N have in common? A) total number of neutrons and electrons B) number of protons C) total number of protons and neutrons D) number of neutrons

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two atoms have the same number of protons, as indicated by the identical symbols for S (sulfur), U (uranium), and N (nitrogen). The numbers following these symbols indicate the number of protons, so both atoms have 1 uranium, 1 nitrogen, and 2 sulfur atoms, each with 16 protons. The zeros after the P indicate that there are no phosphorus atoms in either atom. The different numbers following the U and P symbols indicate different isotopes of uranium and phosphorus, respectively. The different numbers following the sulfur symbols indicate different positions in the molecule. As the question does not mention the positions of the atoms, we can assume that these are not relevant to the answer.
