Which Atoms have the same number of protons as what other?
The neutron. Unless it is an isotope, which has a different number of neutrons.
All the atoms in every element?
neutral, with the number of protons equaling the number of electrons.
What are changed atoms of elements that have an unequal number of protons and electrons?
Charged atoms of elements that have an unequal number of protons and electrons are called ions.. A perfect example of this is H+, which is a hydrogen with one less electron than normal. In other words, H+ is a single proton, with no electrons.
Do atoms have electrons?
Yes. Electrons are one of three subatomic particles, the other two being protons and neutrons.
In what way are atoms of one element different from atoms of other elements?
The number of electrons and neutrons may differ for atoms of the same element. However, what distinguishes atoms of one element from those of a different element is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus. All of the atoms of an element have the same number of protons, which is the single most important determiner of the properties of an element.
How do atoms with different atomic numbers differ from each other?
It is because that they have a different number of protons and neutrons and electrons.
Why must the number of protons and atoms in an element be the same?
If you mean protons and electrons then protons are positive and electrons are negative, so the protons and electrons cancel each other out leaving the atom stable. If the numbers were uneven, the atom would be unstable and decay, but that doesn't mean that all unstable atoms have an uneven number of protons and electrons.

The neutron. Unless it is an isotope, which has a different number of neutrons.

neutral, with the number of protons equaling the number of electrons.
How are elements described in terms of the atoms?
Each chemical element has atoms with a specific number of protons, different from the atoms of other elements.
What are changed atoms of elements that have an unequal number of protons and electrons?
Charged atoms of elements that have an unequal number of protons and electrons are called ions.. A perfect example of this is H+, which is a hydrogen with one less electron than normal. In other words, H+ is a single proton, with no electrons.
What particles act together to make atoms behave as a solids?
Electrons. Mutually repel elections of other atoms when they get close (as they are then much closer to other electrons than other protons)
Which number is equal to the number of protons in the atom?
Nothing in an atom has the same number of electrons. Instead, all atoms are composed of protons (+1 charge) and electrons (-1 charge), and most atoms also have neutrons (no charge). The protons and neutrons are held together in a small cluster at the center of the atom called the nucleus and the number of protons identifies the type of atom (hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, etc.) The electrons move about the nucleus in volumes of space called orbitals and for neutral atoms the number of protons and electrons is the same. If the number of protons and electrons is not the same the atom has a net positive or negative charge and we call it an ion.
Do atoms have electrons?
Yes. Electrons are one of three subatomic particles, the other two being protons and neutrons.
In biology which term includes the other four atoms molecules electrons elements and protons?
Molecules Atoms which are elements make up molecules. Protons and electrons make up atoms.
Why do atoms have a neutral charge?
It is because there is an equal amount of positive and negative charge to produce a neutral charge. Just the presence of neutrons does not make the atom neutral. An atom will lose its neutral charge if it loses or gains electrons and becomes an ion
How are elements different from each other?
Differing number of protons. For example, Hydrogen has 1 proton, whilst Helium has 2 and Lithium has 3.
