What are neutron stare?
Do you mean neutron stars? Any atom you can think of has the same number of electrons as protons in the nucleus. Some stars have collapsed under their own gravity so that the electrons have been squeezed into the nucleus. When they do that, they combine with the equal number of protons to form neutrons in every case. So instead of atoms with neutrons, protons and electrons, you are left with just neutrons, and neutrons are much much smaller than atoms. The densities and gravitational fields in the vicinity are enormous.
Can an isotope have less number of neutrons?
absolutely. such isotopes are likely to decay by emitting positrons or by K capture, instead of by emitting electrons when they undergo beta type decay.
Do neutrons contribute to electrical charges?
Neutrons. A very similar word is neutral. And neutral means no side. So a neutron has no charge. With that in mind, neutrons don't affect the charge of an atom. Instead, they contribute to part of the mass of an atom. They also affect the life of an atom or its stability. :)
Which is not true all isotopes of an element have the same number of electrons?
All neutral atoms of an element, including any of its isotopes, always do have the same number of electrons. The existence of isotopes has nothing to do with the number of electrons in an atom. Instead, the number of neutrons varies between isotopes of the same element. The number of electrons varies from that of a neutral atom only if an ion of the element is formed.
Why does an atom have an overall neutral charge in regard to subatomic particles?
A proton has a charge of (+1) and an electron has a charge of (-1) and neutrons do not have a charge. In an atom there are an equal numbers of protons and electrons so the charges cancel. If there are a different number of protons and electrons, the particle is no longer an atom, but instead an ion.

Does the nucleus of an atom have protons neutrons electron?
no, they don't. instead they make up the nucleus of the atom. protons and neutrons are made of quarks, which are held together by gluons.which means that the nuceuls and electrons together make the atom.
Electrons are located in?
Electrons, unlike neutrons and protons, are not located in the nucleus. Instead, they orbit around the nucleus. It's kinda like the moon orbiting the Earth.
Can an isotope have less number of neutrons?
absolutely. such isotopes are likely to decay by emitting positrons or by K capture, instead of by emitting electrons when they undergo beta type decay.
How many protons neutrons and electrons in 58cr and 63cr?
Assuming that the questioner intended to write "Cr" instead of "cr", the isotopes indicated are those of the element chromium, whose atomic symbol is "Cr" and whose atomic number is 24. The atomic number is defined as the number of protons in a nucleus of each atom, and the atomic mass number, which precedes the atomic symbol, is defined as the number of protons and neutrons combined. In order to maintain electrical neutrality as is required for any atom, the number of electrons must be the same as the number of protons. From the definition of mass number, it follows that the number of neutrons is equal to the atomic mass number minus the atomic number. Therefore, each isotope named in the question has 24 protons and 24 electrons, but the isotope with mass number 58 has 32 neutrons and the isotope with mass number 63 has 32 neutrons has 39 neutrons.

Protons plus neutrons plus electrons equals mass number?
The atomic weight/mass is the average weight of all the isotopes of that element. Adding the number of protons and neutrons together does equal to the atomic weight, but only if you round the decimal.For example the element sulfur (atomic number 16) has an atomic mass of 32.066. This is not a whole number, but that does not mean that sulfur has 16.066 neutrons. Instead, you would just say that the atomic mass is 32 amu and subtract the number of protons, which is the same as the atomic number, from the atomic mass. Sulfur therefore has 16 neutrons, protons, and electrons.

How do you make jj Thomsons atom?
J.J. Thomson proposed that an atom consists of a mixture of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. In his model, the electrons can be thought of as tiny marbles suspended in a "pudding" made up of protons. Niels Bohr found this model to be incorrect, and instead described the atom more accurately as a sort of planetary configuration. In his model, electrons orbit the nucleus which consists of the protons. Bohr's model was backed up experimentally by Ernest Rutherford's work.
Why does an atom have an overall neutral charge in regard to subatomic particles?
A proton has a charge of (+1) and an electron has a charge of (-1) and neutrons do not have a charge. In an atom there are an equal numbers of protons and electrons so the charges cancel. If there are a different number of protons and electrons, the particle is no longer an atom, but instead an ion.
Why is sliver a element?
Silver is an element because when an silver atom cannot be broken down into smaller, different parts of it. Instead, you get protons, electrons, and neutrons that make up and atom. That is the same with all of the other elements.
Why use factorial experiment?
use of factorial experiment instead of single factor experiments
