What element has 2 electrons (neutral atom )?

Helium has 2 protons, 2 neutrons, and 2 electrons.


How many neutrons are in meitnerium?

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - Atomic number of the element The atomic number of meitnerium is 109. Each isotope of an element has a different number of neutrons.


What is the number of electrons in a neutral atom of an element on an periodic table?

There is none, but a neutral atom is called a neutron. There is no neutral element.


Will an atom with 27 protons 32 neutrons and 27 electrons be electrically neutral?

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.


What does the atomic number tell you the number of in a neutral atom of an element?

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in each atom of the element, whether neutral or not. If the atom is neutral, the number of electrons in the atom is the same as the number of protons.


All element on the periodic table are neutral because they have the same number of electrons as what other paticle?

Atoms have 3 parts: Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. In a neutral atom, the atomic #= number of protons, and everything else is equal to it. For example: Hafnium, Atomic#=72= 72 protons, 72 neutrons, 72 electrons= neutral atom.


Which is not true all isotopes of an element have the same number of electrons?

All neutral atoms of an element, including any of its isotopes, always do have the same number of electrons. The existence of isotopes has nothing to do with the number of electrons in an atom. Instead, the number of neutrons varies between isotopes of the same element. The number of electrons varies from that of a neutral atom only if an ion of the element is formed.


What element neutral atom have ten neutrons?

Neon


Which element has 10 neutrons as in a neutral atom?

Neon


An element has an atomic number of 30 how many protons and electrons are in a neutral atom of the element?

It will have 30 protons and 30 electrons if the atom is neutral.


What do all atoms of an element have?

They all have protons and electrons. And all but hydrogen have neutrons as well. The number of protons is an element's atomic number. Assuming the atom is neutral, this will also be the number of electrons. The number of neutrons can vary among isotopes of the same element.


Is an atom that has the same number of protons as neutrons a neutral atom?

False. The atom that has the same number of protons as it has electrons is a neutral atom.
