Electrically neutral elements have equal numbers of electrons and protons. A stable element has equal numbers of protons and neutrons. Thus, the answer to the question ''Do Eletrically neutral element have equal numbers of electrons and neutrons?'' depends on the stability of the element i.e. if stable then yes and if unstable than might not.

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 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.
What property's do protons and electrons have that neutrons don't?
Protons and electrons are charged particles and neutrons have no charge because they are neutral.
What do two different neutral isotopes o the same element have in common?
Neutral isotopes are atoms of the same element which have the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons.
What is the smallest eletrically neutral particle of an element?
Very probable you think to a neutron.
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?
Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.
A neutral atom has 117 neutrons and 78 electrons What is the name of the element?
platinum
What element has 2 electrons (neutral atom )?
Helium has 2 protons, 2 neutrons, and 2 electrons.
What are the charging of protons electrons and neutrons?
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.
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 do two different neutral isotopes o the same element have in common?
Neutral isotopes are atoms of the same element which have the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons.
How do the numbers of protons neutrons and electrons for an element compare?
In the neutral state, all atoms of the same element contain equal numbers of protons and electrons. However, most elements have atoms with different numbers of neutrons. These are called isotopes.
Are electrons neutral?
Electrons are a negative charge. Neutrons are neutral.
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.
