The nucleus of an atom contains only protons and neutrons; there are never any electrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is generally equal to or greater than the number of protons.

What do two different neutral isotopes of the same elements have in common?
They have the same number of protons in the nucleus and same number of electrons surrounding the nucleus.
Number of electrons and protons in a nucleus?
The number of protons in a nucleus depends on which element it is. ( The number of protons is the decider as to which element it is. ) The number of electrons in an atom is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus, but none of the electrons are in the nucleus. Rather, they orbit around the nucleus like planets round a star.
How do the number of protons in the atomic nucleus normally compare to the number of electrons that orbit the nucleus?
The number of protons is usually the same as the number of electrons!:)
Do electrons have the same number of particles in the nucleus as the protons?
yes
How many protons are in the nucleus of the carbon atom?
Its electrons and protons are the same. just determine its electrons form its atomic number
The atomic number of an element is what?
The atomic number of an element is how many protons and electrons (you must have the same amount of protons as electrons) an element has in it's nucleus. The Atomic number= number of protons= number of electrons.
What do different neutral isotopes of the same element have in common?
They have the same number of protons in the nucleus and same number of electrons surrounding the nucleus.
Atomic number equals the number of?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus and in a neutral atom will also equal the number of electrons.
The atomic number is the same as the same as the number of these particles what are they?
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. The protons are positive particles, and so the number of them is matched by the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus. The organisation of the electrons determines how an element behaves when it reacts.
What do all atoms of a element have in common?
The identity of an atom is defined by its Atomic Number, the number of Protons in the Nucleus. If the atom is un-ionized, it will also have the same number of electrons. So, just to be excruciatingly specific, every atom of the same element has exactly the same number of protons.
How can you find the number of electrons an element has?
In a neutral atom the number of electrons is the same as the atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus.
What do two different neutral isotopes of the element have in common?
They have the same number of protons in the nucleus and same number of electrons surrounding the nucleus.
