Question
### Understanding Atomic Structure

In this exercise, we are given the isotope \( _{7}^{14} \text{HS}^{+5} \). 

**Problem Statement:**
Fill in the blanks in the statement below:

"There are ____ protons, ____ neutrons, and ____ electrons in \( _{7}^{14} \text{HS}^{+5} \)."

**Explanation:**
1. **Protons**: The number of protons is determined by the atomic number, which is the subscript (7 in this case).

2. **Neutrons**: The number of neutrons is calculated by subtracting the atomic number (7) from the mass number (14).
\[ \text{Number of neutrons} = 14 - 7 = 7 \]

3. **Electrons**: For a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. However, here we have a \( +5 \) charge, which indicates the atom has lost 5 electrons.
\[ \text{Number of electrons} = 7 - 5 = 2 \]

**Solution:**
There are **7 protons**, **7 neutrons**, and **2 electrons** in \( _{7}^{14} \text{HS}^{+5} \).
