By definition, a gold atom has 79 protons. A gold atom also has 79 electrons, unless it is an ion. Naturally occurring gold atoms have 118 neutrons, although it is possible to synthesize gold atoms with 116, 117, 119, or 120 neutrons.

Gold is atomic number 79, so a gold atom has 79 protons.

In general the number of electrons and neutrons cannot be uniquely determined just from the element's name, but in the specific case of gold, the only stable isotope is 197Au, which has 118 neutrons, and a neutral gold atom will have 79 electrons.

Gold has 79 proton's, 79 electrons and 118 neutron's. Gold doesn't have 5 neutron's, 2 protons, and 36 electrons. who ever gave you guys that answer was wrong.

Yes it does. All elements have electrons, protons, and neutrons.


How many electrons does a gold atom contain?

The elements in the Periodic Table are arranged in order by atomic number. The atomic number of gold (Au) is 79. Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atoms of that element. So gold atoms have 79 protons in their nuclei. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the numbers of protons. So a neutral gold atom has 79 electrons.
