protons and electrons
Generally an atom contains similar number of electrons and protons. That is why an atom is neutral.
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons.
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is always the same as the atomic number.
Each neutral atom of antimony contains 51 electrons, the same as the atomic number of antimony.
No - in fact it is quite rare
it has a neutral charge because it contains an equal number of protons and electrons
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.
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.
#of electrons and # of protons is EQUAL in a neutral atom
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.
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 the same number of electrons as protons. Therefore, an atom with 4 protons would also have 4 electrons to maintain its neutral charge.
