Yes, Elements are identified by the amount of electrons it has.
Even isotopes are elements are still recognised by their amount of electrons.
For example if you had a question:
what element has 2 more electrons that Carbon?
Carbon has 6 electrons, so 2 more would be 8.
That would mean the element would therefore be Oxygen
There is none, but a neutral atom is called a neutron. There is no neutral element.
Yes, in a neutral atom the number of electrons and protons is equal, and it is the number of protons that determines what element the atom is. So, by looking at the number of electrons you can tell what element it is.
The Atomic Number of an element is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element and/or the number of electrons a in neutral atom of that element.
It will have 30 protons and 30 electrons if the atom is neutral.
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.
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of an element. An element that is in its neutral state has the same number of protons and electrons, thus the atomic number can also be used to tell the number of electrons in a non-ionic atom of that element.
A neutral atom of an element will have the same number of electrons as protons (atomic number). For example, the element magnesium has the atomic number 12, which means that a neutral magnesium atom will have 12 protons and 12 electrons.
An element's' atomic number, and in a neutral atom the number of its electrons.
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.
Each neutral atom of antimony contains 51 electrons, the same as the atomic number of antimony.
Look up the atomic number of the element. The atomic number is the number of protons, in a neutral atom this is the same as the number of electrons.
in a neutral atom the no.of electrons and protons are the same. so what you have to only know is the atomic no.of that element
