The number of protons equals the number of electrons in an uncharged atom.
In a neutral atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. And by definition the atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in it. So the atomic number of a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons or the number of electrons in the atom.
An atom is neutral if the numbers of protons and electrons are equal it's neutral.
No - in fact it is quite rare
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons.
For a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
False. An atom is neutral if it has an equal number of protons and neutrons
The number of protons is equal to atomic number; in a neutral atom the number of electrons is also equal to the numbers of protons.
The protons and electrons are equal in number in a neutral atom
Do you mean what does the number of protons equal? This is the atomic number of the element. All isotopes of an element will have the same number of protons, only the number of neutrons varies.
An equal number of protons and electrons.
The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to that of protons. If the atom is negatively charged, add it to the number of electrons; and if positive, subtract.
In a neutral atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The opposite charge between protons and electrons is what allows for a neutral atom.
