I think it is because Protons Neutrons and Electrons are comprised of even smaller particles such as quarks leptons etc... and there might be different amounts of those particles in each proton neutron etc...

How do you find the number of protons electrons of an element?

The atomic number of the element is the number of protons, therefore there has to be the same amount of electrons to protons.


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 has 11 protons 12 neutrons and 10 electrons?

none because the number of protons and electrons have to be the same.


If element X has 72 protons how many electrons does it have electrons?

Element X with 72 protons will have 72 electrons in a neutral state. The number of protons in an element is equal to the number of electrons in that element's neutral atom.


What are the number of protons and electrons found in an element?

the number of protons in an element is called the atomic number and there is no way to see how many electrons an element has.


What are the number of protons and electrons found in an element called?

the number of protons in an element is called the atomic number and there is no way to see how many electrons an element has.


What tells you how many protons and electrons an element has?

The atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons


The number of protons and electrons found in an element?

In an atom of any isotope of any element, there is a number of protons which is similar to the number of electrons.


What is The atomic mass of an element is equal to?

The number of protons, electrons, and neutrons:P


What is the number of protons plus the number of electrons?

The number of protons plus the number of electrons isn't a recognized figure in chemistry. The number of protons is the atomic number of an element. The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons except when the element is an ion. An ionic compound results in one or more electrons moving from one element to another element. Although this is a simplification, it can be described as the atom gaining or losing electrons. The number of protons plus the number of neutrons is the atomic weight of an element.


How many protons and electrons are in element with an atomic number?

An element's atomic number is equal to the amount of protons in that element. Each atom has a different number of protons and electrons present in their make-up.


What do the protons do?

The number of protons determine the atomic number of an element. There are the same amount of protons as electrons in a regular element.
