For a stable atom, no. of protons= no. of electrons
no of neutrons= Atomic Mass- no. of protons
For a stable atom, no. of protons= no. of electrons no of neutrons= Atomic Mass- no. of protons
Protons are the positive charge electrons in atoms that make up elements.
They are the same.
The number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number and defines the element. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
15 electrons and 15 protons
Electrons orbit the nucleus which is made up of protons and neutrons. The diagram in the related links might help:
6 electrons and 6 protons
6 protons and 6 electrons
Protons do not contain electrons. Protons are positively charged, electrons negatively charged.
35 protons, 36 electrons
# of protons = # of electrons # of protons/ electrons + # of neutrons = atomic mass
It is protons and neutrons that are known as nucleons when they are considered as the building blocks of an atomic nucleus. Electrons are not considered nucleons. Electrons form up in orbitals around an atomic nucleus. It is the protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus of a given atom and not the electrons. A related question is linked below.
