In an atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
That is, in the case of an un-ionized, non valence bonded molecule...
If the atom were ionized, it could have fewer or less electrons. If the atom were part of a valence bonded molecule, it could be sharing valence electrons with other atoms.

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 is equal the number of protons in an atom?
The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number.
Which number is equal to the number of pronons in the atom?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons [note correct spelling!] in each nucleus of an atom.
Does the number of electrons in an atom give its atomic number?
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.
What is The number of protons in an atom of an element is the element's?
The number of protons in an atom of an element is equal to the number of electrons in that atom which is equal to that element's atomic number.
The number of these is equal to the number of electrons in an atom?
A neutral atom has equal numbers of elecrons and protons.
Why is the number of protons equal to the number of electrons in an atom?
To maintain the neutrality of an atom the number of neutrons must be equal to number of electrons; in ions this number is not equal.
In an atom the number of protons is always equal to the number of?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons.
What does the atomic number always equal inside an atom?
Atomic number is always equal to the number of protons in an atom.
Which to particles in an atom are equal in number?
The protons and electrons are equal in number 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 equal to the number of protons which is equal to the number of electrons?
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.
