A neutral atom has the same number of protons as it does neutrons?

no. an atom is made up of protons neutrons and electrons.
protons have a charge of plus one
electrons have a charge of minus one
neutrons have no charge.
therefore the number of protons and electrons must be equal (balancing the charges) for the atom to be neutral.

∙ 13y agoEach proton balances out 1 electron and to have no charge, protons and electrons must be equal.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agono a neutral atoms has the same number of positives and negatives
so it has same number of negative electrons and positive protons
the neutrons determine isotopes
Wiki User
∙ 12y agono, they must have the same number of protons and electrons.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo. The number of protons has to equal the number of electrons, but the number of neutrons can vary.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoA neutral atoms needs to have the same number of protons and electrons, the number of neutrons doesnt affect the overall charge.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoBecause each proton has an electric charge of +1 and each electron has an electric charge of -1. Electrical neutrality is therefore achieved by having the same number of protons as electrons.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoThis statement is FALSE. A neutral atom must have the same number of PROTONS as ELECTRONS, but the number of neutrons can vary.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoFalse -

What are the charges of each part of an atom?
The nucleus of the atom has a positive charge because the protons that found in the nucleus are positive and the neutrons have no charge. The electrons on the electron cloud have a negative charge. This means the entire atom has a neutral charge to it. The atom always has the same number of protons and electrons, which means they cancel their charges out.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in a neutral atom of 113In (indium's-113)?
49 protons, 64 neutrons and 49 electrons.
The sum of the protons and the neutrons will tell the atomic what?
Atomic mass number of the atom. The best way to remember it is: the majority of the mass of an atom is made up of the protons and neutrons (the electrons are very light!), therefore the atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons.
What are the three basic particles of an atom?
First Answer: The three basic particles of an atom are protons, neutrons and electrons. The proton and neutron comprises of the nucleus of an atom but electrons revolve around the nucleus continuously. The protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged while the neutrons are neutral. Thus we can say the whole atom is neutral. Second Answer: 1) Proton (Positive) 2) Neutron (Neutral) 3) Electron (Negative)
How many electrons is there in boron if there is a atomic number or 5 and atomic mass of 11?
All you need is the atomic number, which gives the number of protons, in this case, 5. In any neutral atom the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons. So any neutral boron atom will have 5 electrons.
Is an atom that has the same number of protons as neutrons a neutral atom?
False. The atom that has the same number of protons as it has electrons is a neutral atom.
Is an atom neutral if it has a greater number of electrons than protons?
False. An atom is neutral if it has an equal number of protons and neutrons
What number is used to determine how many electrons are in a neutral atom?
The atomic number (the number of protons in the atom). Neutral charge = 0 = (number of protons - number of neutrons). Therefore, number of protons = number of neutrons
Will an atom with 27 protons 32 neutrons and 27 electrons be electrically neutral?
Neutrons have no charge. When the number of protons of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in it, the atom is neutral, in other words, it has no charge.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in a neutral atom of 64Cu atomic number 29?
There are similar number of neutrons and protons. It contains 29 neutrons and protons.
What is true about the number of protons and neutrons in a neutral atom?
The numbers of each are equal! Therefore the atom is neutral.
How do you find the number of electrons in an atom if you know the number of protons and neutrons?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons of the nucleus.
What is the relationship between the number of protons and the number of electrons in an atom?
For a neutral atom, the relationship between the number of protons and the number of neutrons is the same.
What number of protons and neutrons must be contained in the nucleus to result in a neutral atom?
It does not matter how meant protons and neutrons are in the atom for it to be a balanced structure as long as the number is equal.
How many protons electrons and neutrons does an atom with an atomic number of 50 and mass number of 125?
If its a neutral atom, there will be the same number of protons as electrons. The atomic number will tell you how many protons there are, so there are 50 protons and 50 electrons.The mass number is the sum of the number of protons (or electrons in a neutral atom) and the number of neutrons. Since we know there are 50 protons, we subtract 125 with 50 to get 75 neutrons.
An equal number of protons and neutrons typically results in an atom that is?
Often, but not always, atoms with an equal number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus are stable and not radioactive.
What atom has as many protons as it does electrons?
all neutral atoms have same number of protons and neutrons
