In an atom the number of protons is always equal to the number of what?
No - in fact it is quite rare
What is the atomic number always equal to?
The number of protons in the nucleus of each atom that has the atomic number.
What does the atomic number always equal inside an atom?
Atomic number is always equal to the number of protons in an atom.
Does the number of protons always equal the number of electrons in a atom?
No
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 two particles in an atom always have the same number?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
What two things are always equal within an atom?
The number of protons in the atom's nucleus and the total number of electrons in the electron shells of that atom.
Does the number of protons always equal the number of electrons?
In the atom state (not ionic), yes.
The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atoms must always what?
#of electrons and # of protons is EQUAL in a neutral atom
How would you figure the number of protons or electrons in an atom?
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.
What is the relationship between the atomic number and the electrons in neutral 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.
What atomic number always equal to the total number of?
Electrons or Protons. As they are effectively equal in no in a neutral atom.
