When the number of electrons and neutrons are the same, it means that the number of protons will also be the same amount. For example a nitrogen atom has 7 electrons and 7 neutrons, this means that the number of protons will also be 7.

What is the relationship between the electrons and neutrons and protons?
Electrons are negatively charged, smaller than neutrons and protons, and orbit around the nucleus. Neutrons have no charge, are about the same size as protons and are found in the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, are about the same size as neutrons and are found in the nucleus.
The main difference between isotopes of the same element has to dowith the number of?
The difference between isotopes of the same element have to do with the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom. Isotopes are atoms of an element that contain the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass.
Isotopes have the same number of but different numbers of?
The number of protons (and electrons in a neutral atom) is identical. The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
Do all isotopes of an elements have different numbers of electrons?
No. The essence of an isotope is that all isotopes have the same number of protons in the nucleus, and thus the same number of electrons. What varies is the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
How many protons neutrons and electrons does Molybdenum have?
For the commonest isotope there are 42 protons , 42 electrons and 56 neutrons. However, it has several naturally stable isotopes, they have, 50 neutrons, 52 neutrons, 53 neutrons, 54 neutrons, 55 neutrons and 58 neutrons. However, for all isotopes the number of protons and electrons remains the same, otherwise it would be a different element.
What is the relationship between the electrons and neutrons and protons?
Electrons are negatively charged, smaller than neutrons and protons, and orbit around the nucleus. Neutrons have no charge, are about the same size as protons and are found in the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, are about the same size as neutrons and are found in the nucleus.
Differences between electrons to neutrons?
Electrons are negative and are found in the electron cloud, which neutrons have no charge and reside in the nucleus.
The main difference between isotopes of the same element has to dowith the number of?
The difference between isotopes of the same element have to do with the number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom. Isotopes are atoms of an element that contain the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass.
Does the carbon14 have more protons neutrons or electrons than carbon12?
It has the same number of protons and electrons, but two more neutrons.
The main difference between isotopes of the same element has to do with the number of neutrons electrons protons or any of the above?
D
What is the relationship between the flow of energy and the transfer of electrons?
they both have a connection by neutrons of the same energy level of an atom
Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of electrons?
No. The only difference between 2 isotopes of the same element is the number of neutrons.
How are atoms the same?
they all have protons,neutrons,and electrons
What is the relationship between the number of protons and the number of electrons in an atom?
For a neutral atom, the relationship between the number of protons and the number of neutrons is the same.
Is the number of electrons equal the number of neutrons in an atom?
not usually, a standard atom will contain the same amount of electrons and PROTONS, not neutrons
Why are electrons number the same as neutrons number?
They are NOT. The number of electrons and the number of neutrons are not linked at all - for instance, an atom of Hydrogen has one proton and one electron and NO neutrons.
Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?
Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.
