Where there is the same number of proton's as electron's the charge on the atom is considered?
neutral
Is the mass of the electron the mass of the proton?
No, there are the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, but I don't think that they have the same mass. You're right, an electron is 1,836 times lighter than a proton.
How is a hydrogen atom is different than a proton?
A hydrogen atom consists of a proton in its nucleus along with an electron orbiting around it. A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom and carries a positive charge. In comparison, a hydrogen atom is a neutral particle since it has an equal number of protons and electrons.
If you added a proton a neutron and an electron to an atom would the atom still be the same?
no
When an atom becomes more positive?
An atom contains 3 particles-protons(positive charges), neutrons(no charge), electrons(negative charge)...When an atom looses an electron, the proton number stays the same. As a result, the proton number exceeds the electron number. This gives rise 2 a positively charged atom(cation). On the contrary, when an atom gains an electron, the proton number remains the same. As a result, the the electron number exceeds the proton number which gives rise to the formation of a negatively charged atom(anion)....If u want more information, see me on facebook...Jeffery MixedRace Osei..
How do the numbers of protons and electorns compare in a normal atom?
The atomic number, proton and electron are all the same amount in an element.
Why are electrons number the same as neutrons number?
They are NOT. The number of electrons and the number of neutrons are not linked at all - for instance, an atom of Hydrogen has one proton and one electron and NO neutrons.
What number of electrons in a neutral atom of an element will be equal to?
The amount of electrons is balanced by the same amount of protons in a neutral atom, such as for the neutral hydrogen atom; it has 1 proton and 1 electron.
How will electron configuration of the atom change when the atom becomes an ion?
When an atom becomes an ion, it gains or loses electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell, resulting in a change in electron configuration. For example, a neutral sodium atom (1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1) loses one electron to become a sodium ion (1s2 2s2 2p6). The electron configuration of the ion reflects this change in the number of electrons.
A neutral atom must have the same number of neutrons and electron true or false?
FALSE!!!! A neutral atom must have the same number of protons and electrons. The number of neutrons can vary, to form isotopes. When the number of protons and electrons are different, they are no longer atoms but IONS. If we take hydrogen as an example, it forms three isotopes. #1 ; protium ; 1 proton, 0 neutrons and 1 electrons #2 ; deuterium ; 1 proton , 1 neutron and 1 electron #3 ; tritium ; 1 proton , 2 neutrons and 1 electron Notice the protons and electrons are the same number, but the number of neutrons varies, between isotopes.
Explain why a neutral atom cannot have one proton one neutron and two electrons?
an atom with a neutral charge must have the same number of protons as electrons. (think of a proton as having a +1 charge and an electron having a -1 charge. in order for the atom to be neutral, the positive charges must balance with the negative charges) If the atom has 1 proton and 2 electrons, then the overall charge is -1
What is the number of electron?
The number of electrons (charge -1 per e) in a certain atom is equal to the the number of protons (charge +1 per p), since it's neutral. The proton number is the same as the atom number of that particular element (atom) in the periodic table.
