It is the number of protons contained with the nucleus, this defines which element it is. If the atom has neutral charge then it will also be equivalent to the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus.
A neutral atom of an element will have the same number of electrons as protons (atomic number). For example, the element magnesium has the atomic number 12, which means that a neutral magnesium atom will have 12 protons and 12 electrons.
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of an element. An element that is in its neutral state has the same number of protons and electrons, thus the atomic number can also be used to tell the number of electrons in a non-ionic atom of that element.
An element's' atomic number, and in a neutral atom the number of its electrons.
The number of protons and electrons of the atom in a neutral state.
It is the number of protons contained with the nucleus, this defines which element it is. If the atom has neutral charge then it will also be equivalent to the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus.
It will have 30 protons and 30 electrons if the atom is neutral.
A neutral atom of an element will have the same number of electrons as protons (atomic number). For example, the element magnesium has the atomic number 12, which means that a neutral magnesium atom will have 12 protons and 12 electrons.
There is none, but a neutral atom is called a neutron. There is no neutral element.
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of an element. An element that is in its neutral state has the same number of protons and electrons, thus the atomic number can also be used to tell the number of electrons in a non-ionic atom of that element.
An element's' atomic number, and in a neutral atom the number of its electrons.
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in each atom of the element, whether neutral or not. If the atom is neutral, the number of electrons in the atom is the same as the number of protons.
The number of protons and electrons of the atom in a neutral state.
in a neutral atom the no.of electrons and protons are the same. so what you have to only know is the atomic no.of that element
Atomic number of an element is same as the number of protons. It is same as number of electrons in neutral atom.
The atomic number of a chemical element is equivalent to the number of protons and electrons, in the neutral state.
Look up the atomic number of the element. The atomic number is the number of protons, in a neutral atom this is the same as the number of electrons.
