Atomic number = number of protons = 15 → element is P (phosphorus) and subscript 15.
Mass number = protons + neutrons = 15 + 17 = 32 → superscript 32.
So the correct symbol is ³²₁₅P (Superscript 32 subscript 15 P).
Mass number = protons + neutrons = 15 + 17 = 32 → superscript 32.
So the correct symbol is ³²₁₅P (Superscript 32 subscript 15 P).
