Answer: The isotope is represented as [tex]_7^{15}\textrm{N}[/tex]
Explanation:
General representation of an element is given as:[tex]_Z^A\textrm{X}[/tex]
where,
Z represents Atomic number
A represents Mass number
X represents the symbol of an element
Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.
Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons = 7 (for nitrogen)
Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.
Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 7+8 = 15
Thus the isotope is represented as [tex]_7^{15}\textrm{N}[/tex]
