Will an atom with 27 protons 32 neutrons and 27 electrons be electrically neutral?
Neutrons have no charge. When the number of protons of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in it, the atom is neutral, in other words, it has no charge.
How do the numbers of protons and neutrons compare in stable atoms?
The majority of stable atoms have slightly more neutrons than protons, but the numbers are similar. The biggest exception is hydrogen, which has a stable isotope having one proton and no neutrons. Many of the lighter elements have stable isotopes in which the number of protons and the number of neutrons is the same. But as the elements get heavier, we increasingly find that stable isotopes have more neutrons than protons. This is an understandable pattern. Protons, all of which have a positive charge, repel each other. It is the neutrons which act as a kind of nuclear glue, holding the nucleus together against the repulsive force that protons exert on each other. As the nucleus gets bigger, more neutrons are needed to hold it together.
What is the mass number minus the atomic number called?
Nucleon Number (total number of protons and neutrons)
How many protons in thorium-232?
Thorium has an atomic number of 90, or in other words, 90 protons in its nucleus. The mass number or the identification of the -232 isotope with its 142 neutrons is a red herring - in isotopy the number of neutrons may vary but the atomic number or the count of protons is the same. If the atomic number varied from 90 it would by definition no longer be thorium.
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.
How are protons and neutrons different from and similar from each other?
Protons are positively charged Neutrons are negatively charged The number of protons is the atomic number Protons+Neutrons=Atomic weight
What atom has the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons from other atoms of the same element?
Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differing numbers of neutrons in the nucleus.
Do isotopes of carbon have the same number of neutrons and different numbers of protons?
No, it is just the other way around!All isotopes of one particular element have the same number of protons (specific for that element) but are differing in neutron number.Example:Uranium has 92 protons (same as atomic number),butisotope U(235) has 143 neutrons and 92 protons (143+92=235)andisotope U(238) has 146 neutrons and 92 protons (146+92=238).
Where are the protonselectronsand neutrons in the atom?
Protons have a positive charge Neutrons have no charge Electrons have a negative charge Protons and Neutrons are found in the nuclei of atoms, while Electrons orbit in layers. Neutrons separate the Protons so that they never touch each other. The number of Protons defines which element you have The number of neutrons defines the isotope you have The number of Electrons defines the charged ion you have
How many protons electron and neutrons are in nitrogen?
A neutral nitrogen atom has 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 7 electrons. If it is electrically charged, the number of electrons will be different. If it is an isotope of nitrogen other than the most common (N-14), the number of neutrons will be different. Protons = Atomic Number Neutrons = Atomic Mass - Protons Electrons = Protons Atomic number is the amount of protons in element.
If an atom has an atomic namber of 20 and a mass namber of 53 how many protons and neutrons does that atom have?
uh, for one thing mass and atomic nUmbers. and the other: it has 20 protons and 33 neutrons. The atom would have 20 protons and 33 neutrons. The number of protons is always the same as the atomic number. To find the number of neutrons, you simply subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass. Atomic mass - Atomic number = number of neutrons (53 - 20 = 33) If you add the number of protons and the number of neutrons together, you should get the atomic mass.
What is the number of protons electrons and neutrons in n-14?
Nitrogen-14: 7 Protons, 7 Electrons, 7 Neutrons To work this out in the future for other elements: Protons = Atomic Number Electrons = Atomic Number Neutrons = Atomic Mass - Atomic Number Hope this helps!
How many neutrons are there in one atom of 47 Ti?
Mass number of Titanium = 46 Atomic number of titanium = 22 = number of protons present Mass number = No. or protons + number of neutrons So number of neutrons = 46 - 22 = 24
How many protons and electrons in uranium 235?
Neutrons 143 Protons 92 92+143=235 For other isotopes: number of neutrons = atomic mass (or mass number) - number of protons
How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in sulfur?
There are 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons in a Sulfur atom. *note it's atomic number- this is the number of protons in an atom of an element. There must be the same number of electrons to balance the charge. The atomic weight minus the number of protons gives you the number of neutrons
Will an atom with 27 protons 32 neutrons and 27 electrons be electrically neutral?
Neutrons have no charge. When the number of protons of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in it, the atom is neutral, in other words, it has no charge.
What does the atomic mass tell you?
It tells you the average amount of protons and neutrons within the nucleus of an atom. In other words, atomic mass - atomic number (protons)= the number of neutrons within the nucleus.
