Isotopic notation of phosphorus-29 is [tex]_{15} ^{29} P[/tex]
Explanation:
- Isotopes are atoms with equal number of protons but different number of neutrons at its nucleus.
- The isotopic notation for any element can be written as [tex]_{Z} ^{A} X[/tex] 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 [tex]_{15} ^{29} P[/tex]
- Number of neutrons = 29-15 =14
- Number of protons=atomic number =15
