Atomic Number is the same as the number of protons in an element.
Mass Number is the number of Protons + Neutrons in an element.
Atomic Number: 6 means 6 Protons
Mass Number: 15 means 15 atoms that are a proton/neutron.
We are given out of the 15 atoms, 6 of them are protons, so the other 9 must be Neutrons.
15 - 6 = 9 so there must be 9 Neutrons.
There are 9 Neutrons in atom's nucleus.
Give Brainiest if you think this is the best answer and explanation. Thanks!
