All the elements on the Periodic Table differ in their atomic number (the number of protons in the nucleus) for example carbon has 6 protons in its nucleus). Any change in the number of protons and the element is given a different name (7 protons would be nitrogen). As well as protons, there are neutrons in the nucleus. The number of these can change within a single element, for example the most common form of carbon (carbon 12) has 6 neutrons and 6 protons giving it an Atomic Mass of 12, however a less common carbon 13 isotope exists which has 7 neutrons and 6 protons (hence has an atomic mass of 13).
Now with respect tp the electrons, in a neutral element (one with no negative or positive charge) tho number of electrons always equals the number of protons (so carbon will have 6 electrons in both of its isotopes).

What is the total no of protons and neutrons in He atom?
He is helium: it has 2 protons, 2 electrons and 2 neutrons, only less than 0.001% of He has only 1 neutron (He-3 isotope)
How many protons neutrons and electrons does nitrogen have have?
According to Wikipedia neutral nitrogen has 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 7 electrons. Nitrogen ions may have more or less electrons and other nitrogen isotopes may have more or fewer neutorns.
How may electrons neutrons protons are foundin the helium atom?
2 protons 2 electrons 2 neutrons 2 protons 2 electrons 2 neutrons don't know
What Does the number of protons always equal to?
No An atom may have less, the same, or more neutrons than protons. The number of neutrons determine which isotope of an element you have. You do expect the number of protons and electrons to be the same however. If an atom loses or gains an electron to cause the number of electrons and protons to be mismatched we call that an ion rather than an atom.
How do the atoms of one isotope differ from those of other isotopes of the same element?
Primarily, isotopes differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Secondarily, because some combinations of protons and neutrons produce an unstable nucleus, they may differ by being radioactive.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in a gold atom?
In an atom of gold, there are 79 protons and 79 electrons. The number of neutrons for gold may vary by isotope.
How many protons neutrons electrons are found in the beryllium atom?
All beryllium atoms have 4 protons and 4 electrons. The number of neutrons is characteristic of a particular isotope, not of beryllium as a whole, and may be determined by subtracting 4, the number of protons, from the mass number of the isotope.
How may protons neutrons and electrons In lawrencium?
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - Atomic number of the element; the atomic number of Lr is 103. Lawrencium has many isotopes and each isotope has a different number of neutrons.
What subatomic particles make up the atom?
protons, neutrons and electrons are the main subatomic particles of the atom. There are the same number of protons as electrons, which is equal to the atomic number. The number of neutrons may vary according to the isotope of the element.
What is the total no of protons and neutrons in He atom?
He is helium: it has 2 protons, 2 electrons and 2 neutrons, only less than 0.001% of He has only 1 neutron (He-3 isotope)
What is the uranium atom?
Uranium is an atom with 92 protons and 92 electrons. They number of neutrons may vary, depending on the isotope of uranium.
How many protons neutrons and electrons does nitrogen have have?
According to Wikipedia neutral nitrogen has 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 7 electrons. Nitrogen ions may have more or less electrons and other nitrogen isotopes may have more or fewer neutorns.
What is an istoscope?
This may be about an isotope. An isotope of an element has a particular number of protons and neutrons. The number of protons determines the number of electrons and hence the chemistry. Most elements van have a varying number of neutrons. Some isotopes are unstable and are subject to radioactive decay others are stable.

How many protons and neutrons does terbium Tb have in its nucleus?
Electrically neutral terbium's atomic number is 65. Therefore, it has 65 protons and 65 electrons. Terbium's only stable isotope is 159Tb, and thus it has 159 - 65 = 94 neutrons. That brings the total amount of subatomic particles in a terbium atom to 65 + 65 + 94 = 224.
Which of these statements is false all neutrons are alike all electrons are alike all protons are alike all atoms are alike?
True statements: All neutrons are alike, all electrons are alike, all protons are alike (All atoms of a given isotope is only alike). False statement: All atoms are alike All atoms are not alike as they may vary in the number of protons / electrons / neutrons.
