24 protons and 24 electrons
24 electrons, remember the atomic number of an element tells you how many protons it has. The number of protons = the number of electrons (if the atom isnt charged)
24, in the neutral atom. I think you mean chromium-53. It doesn't matter - the atomic number (the number of protons in the nuceus determines how many electrons there are in the neutral atom - the mass number ( the total protons and neutrons does not affect the number of electrons)
24, considering that an electron has a negative charge and the number of protons (positivley charged) is 24, an atom has to be neutrally charged
There are 24 protons in Chromium (including Chromium54) of any isotope. Isotopes are just elements with different numbers of neutrons. If it is called chromium it has 24 protons. The atomic number of an element is the same as the number of protons.
When Cr3+ forms, the neutral atom (chromium) loses 3 electrons. This happens because the neutral chromium atom has 24 electrons, but when it forms Cr3+, it loses 3 electrons to have a total of 21 electrons.
In any neutral atom, the number of protons = the number of electrons.
The atom must have 8 electrons to make it have a neutral charge
An atom is neutral when the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus. Protons are positively charged, while electrons are negatively charged. The opposite charges balance each other out, resulting in a neutral overall charge for the atom.
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.
An atom with 35 protons is iodine, which is a neutral atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons, so it also has 35 electrons. Therefore, an atom with 35 protons has 35 electrons.
The electrons are equal to the amount of protons in that neutral atom.
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
