It will have 6 electrons since an atom is neutral when its number of protons is the same as its number of electrons.
4 electrons
Protons are electrically positive charged, electrons are electrically negative charged, neutrons are electrically neutral. The number of electrons and protons is equal in a neutral atom. Protons and neutrons are in the atomic nucleus, electrons on electron shells, forming electron clouds.
Neutrons are neutral charged, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. So since there are same number of protons and electrons, the atom becomes neutral charged/ electrically neutral entity. Simple as that!
For the isotope carbon-12: 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons
Yes, if an atom contains equal numbers of protons and electrons, the atom is described as being electrically neutral. If an atom has a different amount of protons and electrons it is electrically charged, and is called an ion, rather than an atom.
It has the same number of protons and electrons. Because protons have got positive charges while the electrons have got negative charges, so if their amount is the same, the atom will be a neutral one.
Protons are electrically positive charged, electrons are electrically negative charged, neutrons are electrically neutral. The number of electrons and protons is equal in a neutral atom. Protons and neutrons are in the atomic nucleus, electrons on electron shells, forming electron clouds.
the nucleus of silicon contains neutrons and protons. neutrons are electrically neutral. The atomic no. of Si is 14, which means the Si nucleus contains 14 protons, so the charge at the nucleus of silicon atom is +14
Neutrons have the same mass as a proton and be electrically neutral. Protons and neutrons have almost the same mass.
Generally an atom contains similar number of electrons and protons. That is why an atom is neutral.
A nucleon is one of the particles that make up the nucleus of the atom. Protons and neutrons are nucleons, and the neutronis the electrically neutral nucleon.
Neutrons have no charge. When the number of protons of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in it, the atom is neutral, in other words, it has no charge.
There are similar number of neutrons and protons. It contains 29 neutrons and protons.
Because the Protons (+1) Cancel out the electrons (-1) and leaves the Neutrons which has a neutral charge.
an atom is electrically neutral if the protons and electrons are the same number. ex: if you have 16 protons and 16 electrons its is neutral
Neutrons are neutral charged, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. So since there are same number of protons and electrons, the atom becomes neutral charged/ electrically neutral entity. Simple as that!
The nucleus which contains protons (positive) and neutrons (neutral).
Protons are positively charged Electrons are negatively charged and Neutrons have a neutral charge the number of protons and neutrons are equal so the atom has no overall charge
