Does Neutral potassium atoms contain more protons than electrons?

No, any neutral atom contains the same number of protons as electrons. Protons have a positive charge, and electrons have a negative charge, so in order to be neutral, the numbers of protons and electrons have to be equal.

Neutral atoms contain the same number of protons as?
electrons and Protons
How many protons and electrons does K have?
19 electrons, 19 protons and 20 neutrons
How do atoms remain neutral?
Atoms are neutral as long as they contain the same number of protons as electrons. If there are more electrons than protons, the atom has a negative charge. If there are less electrons than protons, the atom has a positive charge.
If a neutral atom contains 18 protons how many electrons does it contain?
18
The number of electrons in an atom of iodine?
The neutral iodine atom contain the same number of electrons as protons - 53.
What is the amunt of electrons in potassium?
19 in the neutral atom. Potassium has an atomic number of 19, therefore has 19 protons and consequently in the neutral atom has 19 electrons.

What must a neutral atom with four protons contain?
A neutral atom must contain an equal number of electrons because it is a neutral atom.
What does potassium contain?
if yu are referring to elcetons, protons, and neutrons then: 19 protons and electrons and 20 neutrons

How can an atom be electrically neutral charged when it contain particles that are charged?
an atom is electrically neutral if the protons and electrons are the same number. ex: if you have 16 protons and 16 electrons its is neutral
Do gases contain unbalanced numbers of electrons and protons?
Neutral gases do not; ionized gases do.
The number of electrons in an atom of iodine?
The neutral iodine atom contain the same number of electrons as protons - 53.
How many electrons and protons are there in potassium?
there are 19 protons and electrons
How many number of electron does potassium have?
Potassium is element number 19, so it has 19 protons and 19 electrons in the neutral atom.A potassium atom has 19 protons.An uncharged atom therefore has 19 electrons, but in solution many potassium atoms exist as ions (K+), with 18 electrons.
