How many protons and electrons are in a gallium atom?

Answer 1

Gallium has an atomic number of 31. This means that it contains 31 protons, each one having a +1 charge. Therefore, in order for gallium to have a net charge of 0, it must also contain 31 electrons, because electrons have a charge of -1.

Answer 2

One gallium atom has 31 protons and therefore 31 electrons when electrically neutral. It has two stable isotopes, one with 38 neutrons and one with 40 neutrons.

Answer 3

The atomic number of gallium is 31, therefore its atoms contain 31 protons in their nuclei. A neutral gallium atom will also contain 31 electrons in its electron cloud.

Answer 4

Gallium has 31 protons and 39 neutrons.

Answer 5

A gallium atom has 31 protons and 31 electrons.
