It seems there might be a typo in your question, as "phosaurus" is not a recognized element. If you meant "phosphorus," its atomic mass is approximately 30.97 atomic mass units (amu). If you meant something else, please clarify!

Phosphorus has 15 electrons. The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to its atomic number, which is 15 for phosphorus.

The number of neutrons in an atom can be found by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass (rounded to the nearest whole number). For phosphorus, the atomic mass is approximately 30.97.
So, for phosphorus:
- Atomic number = 15 (which is the number of protons and also the number of electrons in a neutral atom)
- Atomic mass = about 31 (rounded from 30.97)
To find the number of neutrons:
\[ \text{Number of Neutrons} = \text{Atomic Mass} - \text{Atomic Number} \]
\[ \text{Number of Neutrons} \approx 31 - 15 = 16 \]
Thus, phosphorus typically has about 16 neutrons. Note that phosphorus has several isotopes, so the number of neutrons can vary slightly depending on the isotope. The most common isotope of phosphorus has 16 neutrons (phosphorus-31).
