If an element has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus and 8 electrons revolving around the nucleus What is the atomic number and atomic mass of this element?

In neutral atoms (with the same number of protons and electrons), the number of protons and electrons equal the atomic number. If our atom has 9 electrons, is neutral, and therefore has 9 protons, it is element #9: Flourine, which has an Atomic Mass of 19: 9 protons plus 10 neutrons.

∙ 12y agoNo element has the specified properties, because all elements must be electrically neutral. However, an oxide ion formed from an oxygen-17 atom would qualify.
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoThe atomic number is the number of protons.The atomic mass is the number of protons + the number of neutrons.
The number of electrons is irrelevant for the answer.

Where are protons neutrons and electrons located?
Protons, neutrons and electrons are located in the atom. The protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus; the electrons are around the nucleus, arranged in shells.
Which is a correct description of the organization of subatomic particles in atoms?
Neutral neutrons and positively charged protons are located within the nucleus of an atom. the negatively charged electrons are revolving around the nucleus of an atom
Is gold a proton?
Yes it does. All elements have electrons, protons, and neutrons.
Subatomic particles found in every atom?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the three subatomic particles found in every atom. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while electrons orbit the nucleus.
What is the structure of the atom and the position of protons neutrons and electrons?
Protons and neutrons can be found in the centre of the atom in the nucleus. Electrons orbit round the nucleus in shells/orbits and are extremely small compared to the rest of the atom. Protons have a positive +1 charge and neutrons have no charge and are neutral. Electrons have a negative -1 charge. Protons and neutrons give the atom its mass. Each shell has a maximum number of electrons it can take. In the first shell it is 2. In all other shells (up to calcium) the maximum number is 8. An atom can gain or lose electrons, becoming what is known as an ion. An ion is nothing more than an electrically charged atom. Adding or removing electrons from an atom does not change which element it is, just its charge. The number of electrons equals the number of protons. The number of protons is the roton/atomic number. The number of neutrons can be found by subtracting the atomic mass from the atomic number (as the atomic mass it both the protons and neutrons combined.)
Where are the protons neutrons and electron located in the atom?
Protons and neutrons are located within the nucleus. Electrons are revolving around the nucleus.
The parts of an atom?
Well there is protons, electrons, and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and the electron i outside revolving around it. The number of them depends on what periodic element specifically.
An atom consists of a?
protons(+) an neutrons(=) inside the nucleus and electrons(-) revolving around it.
What are three fundamental of an atom?
protons and neutrons in the nucleus electrons revolving around it
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in silicon where are each of these subatomic particles located?
silicon-28 as 14 protons and 14 neutrons in the nucleus and 14 electrons revolving around the nucleus
Is the neutrons found outside the nucleus?
The protons are found outside of the neucleus not inside
What is an atom's subatomic parts?
Positively charged protons and neutral neutrons (inside the nucleus) and negatively charged electrons revolving outside the nucleus.
What make up the nucleus and are made up of what?
The nucleus is made of protons, neutrons and electrons. These element move in and out of the nucleus depending on the external environment.
What does a nucleus not contain?
An element's nucleus basically contains protons and neutrons. Electrons rotate around the nucleus of an atom.
What are the two regions of atom?
The atomic nucleus and the cloud of electrons.
The space surrounding the nucleus of an atom contains revolving?
Electrons. These electrons move in orbitals around the nucleus, which is the central part of the atom containing protons and neutrons. The arrangement of these electrons determines the chemical properties of the atom.
Is it possible to stop the electrons revolving around the nucleus?
No, it is not possible to stop the electrons from revolving around the nucleus unless they are stripped off from the nucleus.
