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 element on the periodic table has 54 electrons?
Elements on the periodic table are arranged according to the number of protons in their nucleus, also known as their atomic number.54th element on the periodic table is Xenon.
Do the number on the periodic table stand for the number of protons an element has?
Actually, it stands for the number of electrons. Then, in a neutral atom, number of protons are equal to the electrons. So this statement is correct.
Is it true that the number of electrons in an element is the same for all neutral atom of that element?
Yes, this is true for electrons (and protons) of all neutral atoms of an element.
What do protons equal on the periodic table?
In an atom of an element, the amount of protons in that atom equal the amount of electrons in the atom, but only if it is a neutral atom. That then eqals the atomic number of that element.
Do hydrogen and atoms have an equal number of electrons?
No. Neutral atoms of each element, including hydrogen, have a unique number of electrons, which is equal to the number of protons in their nuclei. The number of protons is the element's atomic number on the periodic table.
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.
What is the element whose atom has 8 electrons when neutral?
The number of electrons corresponds to the "index" number of the element in the periodic table. The 8th element is Oxygen, which has 8 atoms when neutral. That didnt answer the question. ANSWER Neon has 8 electrons :)
How do you find number of electrons in periodic table or how do you calculate the number of electrons?
A neutral atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons. The atomic numbers on the periodic table for each element are the number of protons. So, look up the element on the periodic table, note its atomic number, and you will then know the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom of that element. For example, magnesium (Mg) has atomic number 12. So a neutral Mg atom would have 12 protons and 12 electrons.
What is the symbol for the element which contains 5 electrons in the neutral state?
boron. Bthe elements listed on the periodic table are as neutral as it gets.
Which element on the periodic table has 54 electrons?
Elements on the periodic table are arranged according to the number of protons in their nucleus, also known as their atomic number.54th element on the periodic table is Xenon.
What on the periodic table has 12 electrons?
Magnesium, Mg, atom number 12, 12 protons and 12 electrons.
Neutral atom of a certain element has 15 electrons?
What is element 15? If it's the element on the periodic table with the atomic number 15, it would be Phosphorus which does have electrons, 15 of them. All elements on the periodic table have electrons.
How do you calculate number of electrons of a given element?
You can only be sure of the number of electrons if the element is electrically neutral. If an element is electrically neutral, then the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons which is the atomic number of the element. For instance an electrically neutral atom of carbon, there are 6 electrons because there are 6 protons in a carbon atom.
What element on the periodic table has 6 electrons?
Carbon has 6 electrons. You can tell because its atomic number is 6, and atomic number is the number of protons. In a neutral atom, the numbers of protons and electrons are equal.
What is 80 electrons and is a transition element?
Electrons each have a charge of -1. So, if the element we're trying to find is electrically neutral, it needs to have 80 protons to balance out the 80 electrons. If you look at a Periodic Table, you will see that this element is Mercury, or Hg.
How can you find number of electrons in an atom?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. The number of protons is the atomic number of the element on the periodic table.
Metal with 25 electrons?
In a stable, Neutral system, the protons and electrons will be equal. The element with atomic number 25 is Manganese (Mn), See the periodic table
