If a neutral atom has 8 protons it must have how many electrons?
The atom must have 8 electrons to make it have a neutral charge
What must be true of the number of protons and the number of electrons in an atom if the atom has no charge?
The numbers of protons and of electrons in the atom must be the same.
How many electrons in a neutral atom of Xenon?
The atomic number of Xenon is 54. This means the atom contains 54 protons. In order to form a neutral atom, the positive charge from the protons and the negative charge from the electrons must cancel out. In order to be neutral the atom must have 54 electrons.
How many electrons must a chlorine atom gain to complete its octet?
One.
Atoms tend to combine with each other in a way that each atom will have eight?
Electron Shells no it needs 8 valence electrons Wrong. In order for a atom to combine it must need 8 element molecules.
If a neutral atom has 8 protons it must have how many electrons?
The atom must have 8 electrons to make it have a neutral charge
How many electrons are present in a neutral atom with an atomic number of eight?
There are eight electrons in the neutral form of the atom with the atomic number eight (oxygen or O). --- Answer 2: 8. The atomic number represents the number of protons (positive charge) in an atom. For the atom to have a neutral charge, there must be 8 negative charges in the shells around the nucleus of the atom.
What must be true of the number of protons and the number of electrons in an atom if the atom has no charge?
The numbers of protons and of electrons in the atom must be the same.
How many electrons in a neutral atom of Xenon?
The atomic number of Xenon is 54. This means the atom contains 54 protons. In order to form a neutral atom, the positive charge from the protons and the negative charge from the electrons must cancel out. In order to be neutral the atom must have 54 electrons.
How many electrons must a chlorine atom gain to complete its octet?
One.
In an atom the number of electrons must be the same as the number of?
protons, because the protons are positive and the electrons are negative so to have a neutral atom the protons and electrons must be balanced
How many electrons are needed to stabilize the oxygen atom?
Oxygen's atomic number is 8. That means an atom of oxygen always has 8 protons. To stabilize it then, it must also have 8 electrons.
How many electrons are in an atom of Cl?
There are 17 electrons present in a chlorine atom.
Atoms tend to combine with each other in a way that each atom will have eight?
Electron Shells no it needs 8 valence electrons Wrong. In order for a atom to combine it must need 8 element molecules.
What must be true about its number of electrons for an atom to be neutral?
The atom must have equal number of proton and electron to neutral.
If a neutral atom has 12 electrons how many can be used for creating bonds?
It an atom has 12 electrons and is neutral, then it must be Mg (magnesium), and magnesium has 2 valence electrons which would be used in bonding.
What must a neutral atom with four protons contain?
A neutral atom must contain an equal number of electrons because it is a neutral atom.
