The same number of protons.
Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons in its atom.
Generally an atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Nitrogen has seven protons.
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
An atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons, and the number of protons determines what element it is.
A Krypton atom has 36 protons and 36 electrons each.
6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 protons in carbon-12 atom
6 electrons, protons, and neutrons.
Radon has 86 protons and electrons.
An atom of ruthenium contains 44 protons and 44 electrons. This is because the number of protons in an atom determines its identity, and for a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
A potassium atom has 19 protons and 19 electrons. This is because the number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which for potassium is 19. Electrons in a neutral atom are equal to the number of protons.
The number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons. Therefore, an atom with 8 protons will have 8 electrons.
Not necessarily, the number of protons in an atom are exactly the same as the electrons in an atom. For example, sodium has 11 protons and 12 neutrons. How many electrons does it have? 11.
