How many electrons are in an uncharged atom?

The same number as there are "protons" in the atoms nucleus.


Is the number of protons equal to the number of ions in a uncharged atom?

No, there is no requirement that the number of protons equal the number of neutrons. In fact, this gives rise to the various isotopes of a given element (Different isotopes will have different numbers of neutrons, while sharing the same number of protons). The number of protons is what generally defines an element. By being "uncharged" the atom is understood to have the same number of electrons as protons. Neutrons, being neutral, do not carry charge.

What are uncharged particles?

Uncharged particles are subatomic particles with zero electrical charge. While protons carry a positive charge and electrons carry a negative charge, the third particle of an atom, the neutron, carries no electric charge, and therefore is described as being electrically neutral.


What contains in a nucleus of an atom?

What is uncharged atom?

One where the number of protons (+) equal the number of electrons (-). one were the proton cancels out the electrons Ex. -5 +5 makes 0 uncharged atoms
