What two particles in an atom always have the same number?

Protons and electrons in an atom always have the same number, which determines the atom's overall charge. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of the element, while the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.


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.
