Berylium with an electron structure of 1s22s2 has 4 electrons.
Four
In any neutral atom, the number of protons = the number of electrons.
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
False. The atom that has the same number of protons as it has electrons is a neutral atom.
The neutral atom of chlorine has 17 protons and electrons.
In a neutral atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. And by definition the atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in it. So the atomic number of a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons or the number of electrons in the atom.
An atom is neutral if the numbers of protons and electrons are equal it's neutral.
In any neutral atom, the number of protons = the number of electrons.
In a neutral atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The opposite charge between protons and electrons is what allows for a neutral atom.
Atoms are neutral as long as they contain the same number of protons as electrons. If there are more electrons than protons, the atom has a negative charge. If there are less electrons than protons, the atom has a positive charge.
The electrons are equal to the amount of protons in that neutral atom.
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
In an neutral atom, the number of protons and the electrons are the same
If a neutral atom of sodium has 11 protons, it will have 11 electrons also.
Protons and electrons must be equal in a neutral atom because protons and electrons have equal but opposite charges.
It depends entirely on what type of atom it is. (Neutral atom is redundant. A "non-neutral" atom is referred to as an ion) If it is an atom of carbon, for example, there are 6 electrons. Silicon, on the other hand, has 14 electrons.
#of electrons and # of protons is EQUAL in a neutral atom
False. The atom that has the same number of protons as it has electrons is a neutral atom.
