Recall that the number of protons in a neutral atom is equal to the atomic number of the element.
Identify the element given: phosphorus, which has the symbol P.
Look up the atomic number of phosphorus on the periodic table; this number represents the number of protons.
Understand that the atomic number of phosphorus is 15, meaning a neutral phosphorus atom has 15 protons.
Note that the other numbers given (31, 14, 16) correspond to other properties such as mass number or number of neutrons, but do not represent the number of protons.
