Uncharged, so it's not an ion (cation or anion).
You might also say neutral.

How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in a neutral atom of 30P phophorus-30?
There are similar number of electrons and protons. it has 15 electrons and protons.
How protons and electrons in neon?
In an atom, 10 protons and 10 electrons. (# of protons = atomic number) =)
How can you use the periodic table to find the number of protons in one atom of an element?
valence electrons is the same as the number as the last digit in the group :)
What is the symbol for 2 electrons and 2 protons?
Number protons equal to atomic number. So the element is Helium
What effect does the charge of the atom have on the number of protons?
The number of protons compared to electrons is what determines the charge of the atom. If there are more protons than electrons the atom is positively charged. If there's more electrons than protons the atom is negatively charged. Does this answer your question?
What are the number of protons and electrons found in an element called?
the number of protons in an element is called the atomic number and there is no way to see how many electrons an element has.
In a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of what?
The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.
What are the number of protons and electrons found in an element?
the number of protons in an element is called the atomic number and there is no way to see how many electrons an element has.
What is the number of protons in the nucleus or the number the electrons in the energy levels called?
valence electrons
If the number of electrons and protons are not the same what do you call this?
If the number of protons and electrons are not equal, the atom becomes a charged particle called an ion.
What is an atom called when you have the same numbers of protons as electrons?
On average, in any atom, you will have the same number of electrons and protons.
The number of in an atom is called the atomic number?
All atoms of an element have same no. of electrons and protons. Hence, Atomic no. is given as no. of electrons or no. of protons.
What do you call unequal number of protons and electrons?
All atoms have the same number of protons and electrons, but an atom with a different number of protons and neutrons is called and isotope
What is an atom called when the number of protons is not equal to the number of electrons?
An ion. If there are less electrons than protons, the atom gains a positive charge and is called a cation. If there are more electrons than protons, the atom gains a negative charge and is called an anion.
What is the number of electrons in an atom called?
the atomic number (this is also the number of protons)
What is the particle called that has an unequal number of protons and electrons called?
That is called an ion.
What determines an element's charge?
The number of protons and electrons in the atom. If the number of protons = number of electrons, it is electrically neutral. If number of protons > number of electrons, it is positively charged. If number of protons < number of electrons, it is negatively charged.
