What is the relationship between the atomic number of protons and the atomic number?
The atomic number and number of protons are always the same in a normal element.
What is the formula to get the number electrons?
The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons or the atomic number. If the element is an ion of e.g O+2, you would take away 2 from the atomic number and if it is O-2, you would add two electrons
What is a normal atom?
Its a normal atom if it have same protons, neutrons, and electrons to the one of the periodic table. If it have more or less neutrons than normal then its an isotope. If it have more protons than electrons then its a positive ion. If it have more electrons than protons then its a negative ion. An ion its a charged atom, more or less electrons than " normal " Isotopes its an atoms with the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons.
Is the number of valence electrons equal to the number of protons?
No, the number of total electrons is equal to the number of protons.
What identify the number of protons neutrons and electrons in the atom.?
The number of protons and electrons is equal to the atomic number in a neutral atom.The number of protons is the mass number minus number of protons.
How do the number of protons and electrons compare in normal atom?
They are equal
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!:)
How do the number of protons compare to the number of electrons in an atom with a neutral charge?
The numbers of protons and the numbers of electrons balance; they are equal.
In a normal atom how many electrons are there compared to protons?
In a "normal" atom, the number of electrons equal the number of protons. Many atoms, however, have missing or extra electrons, giving these atoms positive or negative charges, which we call ions.
How would you describe an atom in which the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons?
You could describe it as neutral as the charge of the protons cancels out the charge of the electrons, essentially though it is just a normal atom as if the number of protons was different to the number of electrons, it would be classed as an ion.
What is the relationship between the atomic number of protons and the atomic number?
The atomic number and number of protons are always the same in a normal element.
How do the number of electrons compare in two isotopes in an element?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. Isotopes of the same element also have the same number of electrons and the electronic structure.
What is the formula to get the number electrons?
The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons or the atomic number. If the element is an ion of e.g O+2, you would take away 2 from the atomic number and if it is O-2, you would add two electrons
What determines an element's charge?
The number of protons and electrons in the atom. If the number of protons = number of electrons, it is electrically neutral. If number of protons > number of electrons, it is positively charged. If number of protons < number of electrons, it is negatively charged.
What is a normal atom?
Its a normal atom if it have same protons, neutrons, and electrons to the one of the periodic table. If it have more or less neutrons than normal then its an isotope. If it have more protons than electrons then its a positive ion. If it have more electrons than protons then its a negative ion. An ion its a charged atom, more or less electrons than " normal " Isotopes its an atoms with the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons.
What subatomic particle is always equal in neutral atoms?
protons and electrons will always be = number
What is a position and charge in a atom?
Protons (from the nucleus) have a positive charge and electrons (from the electron cloud) have a negative charge. A normal atom is neutral, because the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
