The atom in a normal state would have two protons to match the two electrons, making the overall charge zero. If the atom is an ion, it would have an mismatched number of protons and electrons, giving it a positive or negative overall charge.
A neutral atom with 12 protons will have 12 electrons in order to balance the positive charge from the protons.
That atom is Arsenic. It would have 33 electrons.
The neutral atom of cadmium has 48 electrons.
Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons in its atom.
It will have 30 protons and 30 electrons if the atom is neutral.
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So, in an atom with three protons, it would contain three electrons. The number of neutrons does not affect the charge or number of electrons in the atom.
Generally an atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Nitrogen has seven protons.
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
An atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons, and the number of protons determines what element it is.
A Krypton atom has 36 protons and 36 electrons each.
An atom with 12 protons and electrons would have 2 electrons in the first energy level and 10 in the second energy level. Therefore, it would have 2 valence electrons.
6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 protons in carbon-12 atom
