Answer:

A nonpartisan iota of Nitrogen has a mass of 18. There are 7 protons in the core of this iota. What number of neutrons, complete electrons, and valence electrons are available

Nitrogen 15 has a nuclear mass of 15. The mass number is # protons in addition to # of neutrons, so for N-15 mass is 15 and the protons are dependably 7 so there must be 15-7=8 neutrons. N-15 has 7 electrons since it has 7 protons and p = e.
