no. it will be same. only the number of electrons will differ

Is an atom that has the same number of protons as neutrons a neutral atom?
False. The atom that has the same number of protons as it has electrons is a neutral atom.
In an atom the number of proton equals the number of neutrons?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons; it may or may not also equal the number of neutrons.
Is an atom neutral if it has a greater number of electrons than protons?
False. An atom is neutral if it has an equal number of protons and neutrons
Will an atom with 27 protons 32 neutrons and 27 electrons be electrically neutral?
Neutrons have no charge. When the number of protons of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in it, the atom is neutral, in other words, it has no charge.
What is true about the number of protons and neutrons in a neutral atom?
The numbers of each are equal! Therefore the atom is neutral.
What number is used to determine how many electrons are in a neutral atom?
The atomic number (the number of protons in the atom). Neutral charge = 0 = (number of protons - number of neutrons). Therefore, number of protons = number of neutrons
How do isotopes of the same element differ with regards to subatomic particles?
Same number of protons; different number of neutrons. The number of electrons will also be the same, assuming a neutral atom.
How do the atoms of one isotope differ from those of other isotopes of the same element?
Primarily, isotopes differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Secondarily, because some combinations of protons and neutrons produce an unstable nucleus, they may differ by being radioactive.
How many neutrons are in one atom in fluorine?
subtract the atomic number by the Atomic Mass, and that is the answer. if its a neutral atom, there are probably the same number neutrons as protons.
What is the atomic number of in atom?
atomic number is how much protons(positive atom) and neutrons(neutral atom) are there in an element. therefore an atom does not have an atomic number
If an atom is neutral the number of electrons and neutrons will be equal?
yes. also, all atoms are neutral.
What do all of one element have in common?
The same number of protons (the atomic number),(the number of neutrons in the nucleus may differ from atom to atom ) The fact that atoms of an elemnt have the same number of protons means that in the neutral atom the number of electrons is the same - and therefore the chemistry is the same.
