What one number identifies the element?
The number of electrons, equal to the number of protons.
1 In an electrically neutral atom the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of?
In an atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. This only varies in ions, where electrons have been added to an atom or removed to create a full outer shell.
How many electrons neutrons and protons does it take to make a neturaly charged atom?
When an element is in its neutral state the number of protons always equal number of electrons. For heavier elements like uranium, to get number of neutrons subtract number of protons from the atomic number. Equal protons and electrons = stable element.
How do the charges of protons and electrons compare in an atom?
We have 2 kinds of ions: anions and cations. Anions have an overall negative charge. This means that there are more electrons than protons. ( Electrons have a negative charge) Cations are positively charged. They have more protons than electrons. (Protons have a positive charge)
What is uncharged?
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
What particles of an atom are equal in number?
In neural one, electrons and protons. In ions it may vary
What is the reason one can determine the number of electrons from the atomic number?
It is because atomic no. is decided on the basis of no. of protons in the atom and no. of protons is equal to no. of electrons in an atom.
What one number identifies the element?
The number of electrons, equal to the number of protons.
How many protons are in an ion with 86 electrons and a 1 charge?
A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. Protons are positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged. Therefore if you have an ion with a -1 charge, it has one extra electron. So your ion has 85 protons.

A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. Protons are positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged. Therefore if you have an ion with a -1 charge, it has one extra electron. So your ion has 85 protons.
Why do atoms have a neutral charge?
It is because there is an equal amount of positive and negative charge to produce a neutral charge. Just the presence of neutrons does not make the atom neutral. An atom will lose its neutral charge if it loses or gains electrons and becomes an ion
What charge do electrons and protons have?
Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged, and neutrons have no charge. The charge of one electron and one proton are equal yet opposite so they cancel out one another.Neutrons have a neutral charge -Apex
How many protons are in an ion with 86 electrons and a negative 1 charge?
