Electrons are equal to the number of protons and the atomic number. To find the number of neutrons you must subtract the atomic number from the mass number.

Does the number of neutrons always equal the number of protons?

No


Is the number of electrons in an atom always equal to the number of neutrons?

No - in fact it is quite rare


An equal number of protons and neutrons typically results in an atom that is?

Often, but not always, atoms with an equal number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus are stable and not radioactive.


The number of these is equal to the number of electrons in an atom?

A neutral atom has equal numbers of elecrons and protons.


Why must the number of protons and neutrons be equal?

The number of protons and neutrons is not equal. The equality is not a rule.


What subunits are present in equal numbers in an atom?

Protons, neutrons, and electrons are subunits present in equal numbers in an atom. The number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons, while the number of neutrons can vary in different isotopes of an element.


The number of neutrons is equal to the atomic number true or false?

False as a generalization but true for some isotopes. The atomic number is the number of protons in a nucleus, which may coincidentally be the same as the number of neutrons but is not required to be.


Is the number of neutrons equal to the atomic number?

In an atom, the number of protons is always similar to its atomic number. (The number of nutrons may be similar or different.)


Why are protons and neutrons always equal in number?

Because they are both in the nucleus and if they weren't the element would be radioactive.


Are the number of neutrons equal to the atomic number minus the atomic mass?

false


What subatomic particle is always equal in neutral atoms?

protons and electrons will always be = number


When don't neutrons equal number of protrons?

Neutrons do not always equal the number of protons in an atom when there are isotopes present. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. This affects the atomic mass of the atom without changing its chemical properties.
