How can you put protons in a sentence?
An atom has the same amount of protons as electrons
How many electrons do atoms need to be neutral?
It depends entirely on what type of atom it is. (Neutral atom is redundant. A "non-neutral" atom is referred to as an ion) If it is an atom of carbon, for example, there are 6 electrons. Silicon, on the other hand, has 14 electrons.
What type of ion is when an atom loses electrons?
A positive ion. Originally atoms have a neutral charge with equal amount of electrons and protons. If atom loses electrons, it still has the same amount of protons so it becomes a positive ion
What is the property of an atom found by adding the total charge of protons to the total charge of electrons?
That gives you the net charge of the atom. If there is the same amount of protons and electrons, the net charge is zero, and the atom is said to be neutral.
What makes an atom neutral?
An atom is neutral if the numbers of protons and electrons are equal it's neutral.
How do you find out the amount of electrons in an atom?
The # of electrons is the same are the # of protons.
What equals the amount of protons in an atom?
Yes
How can you put protons in a sentence?
An atom has the same amount of protons as electrons
How much electrons are there?
In an atom, there are the same amount of protons as electrons, if that's what you mean.
What type of atom has the same amount of protons to electrons?
An isotope
The number of electrons in an atom of an element is the same as the element's?
In an atom, the number of protons is the same number as the atomic number.
Do isotopes have an even amount of protons and electrons?
depends on the atom, Isotopes are mutations of Atoms, with a different mass number. they still have the same amount of protons and electrons as the proper atom.
What is the number of protons and electrons of berrylium?
The atomic number of beryllium is 4. The atomic number of an atom says how many protons are in that atom. In an unionized atom, the protons and electrons are the same amount. Beryllium (unionized) has 4 electrons and 4 protons.
How many electrons do atoms need to be neutral?
It depends entirely on what type of atom it is. (Neutral atom is redundant. A "non-neutral" atom is referred to as an ion) If it is an atom of carbon, for example, there are 6 electrons. Silicon, on the other hand, has 14 electrons.
Has an atom got the same amount of electrons and protons?
If you mean same number, yes
What must always be the same in a neutral atom?
To have a neutral atom, the atom must have the same amount of protons, neutrons, and electrons inside of it.
Is it possible to reverse the amount of protons and electrons in an atom?
The number of protons can not be changed in an atom, while the number of electrons can be.
