Question
Draw the atomic diagram of the following element showing the distribution of – protons, neutrons and the electrons in the various shell of the atom.
Phosphorus – \[\ce{^31_15P}\]
[The upper number represent the – mass number and the lower number represent the – atomic number e.g. calcium – mass number = 40, atomic number = 20]

Solution
Phosphorus – \[\ce{^31_15P}\]
Atomic number Z = p = e = 15
Mass number A = p + n
31 = 15 + n
∴ n = 31 − 15 = 16
P
15 = 2, 8, 5
