How can an atom be electrically neutral when its protons change?
Generally an atom contains similar number of electrons and protons. That is why an atom is neutral.
In an atom the number of protons is always equal to the number of?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons.
How many electrons are in a neutral atom atomic number 6?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is always the same as the atomic number.
What is the number of electrons for the element antimony in a neutral atom?
Each neutral atom of antimony contains 51 electrons, the same as the atomic number of antimony.
In an atom the number of protons is always equal to the number of what?
No - in fact it is quite rare
Why does a atom have neutral charge?
it has a neutral charge because it contains an equal number of protons and electrons
How many electrons are in a neutral atom of 130 56 ba?
Any neutral atom of barium contains 56 electrons, the counter charge for the 56 protons contained in the nucleus of a barium atom, as indicated by its atomic number, 56.
If a neutral atom contains 18 protons how many electrons does it contain?
A neutral atom contains the same number of electrons as protons. Therefore, an atom with 18 protons will also have 18 electrons to maintain an overall neutral charge.
The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atoms must always what?
#of electrons and # of protons is EQUAL in a neutral atom
What two particles in an atom always have the same number?
Protons and Electrons. Protons are positively)+) charged and electrons (-) are negatively charged. For an atom to be neutrally charged the number of protons MUST equal the number of electrons. The number of positives must equal the number of negatives. When these number are NOT equal ; loss/gain of electrons, then the atom is named an ION.
What is the charge on a bromine atom that contains 36e?
A bromine atom with 36 electrons is neutral, as the number of protons (which is equal to the atomic number, 35 for bromine) is balanced by the number of electrons. The charge on a neutral bromine atom is 0.
A neutral atom contains 5 neutrons and 4 protons. How many electrons does it contain?
A neutral atom contains the same number of electrons as protons. Therefore, an atom with 4 protons would also have 4 electrons to maintain its neutral charge.
