  • The isotopic notation for any element can be written as
    _(Z) ^(A) X where X represents the chemical symbol ,A represents mass number and Z represents atomic number
  • The atomic number for phosphorus is 15
  • Isotope's mass number for phosphorus-29 is 29
  • The chemical symbol for phosphorus is P
  • Hence Isotopic notation is
    _(15) ^(29) P
  • Number of neutrons = 29-15 =14
  • Number of protons=atomic number =15
