Yes, the amount of protons within the atom is always equal to its atomic number. If a proton is removed, you get a different element.

What is the atomic number of an atom with eleven protons and twelve neutrons?

Atomic numbers of atoms always measured by their proton units. Atomic number is equal to proton number. So its is eleven


In an atom the number of proton equals the number of neutrons?

In an atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons in order to maintain electrical neutrality. However, the number of neutrons in an atom can vary, leading to different isotopes of the element.


What is the atom number in a proton?

there are no atoms in a proton. a Proton is a part in the nuleus of an atom. the other parts of an atom are neutrons and electrons


What is an atom called if it loses a proton?

the number of protons in an atom is what determines which element the atom is. So if an atom "lost" a proton, it would become another element entirely.


What is the atomic number in the atom?

number of proton


What's the number of electrons in an atom equal to?

In order to find out how many electrons there are in an atom, look at the Atomic Number(also known as Proton Number). It's often found in the bottom left of an atomic symbol in the periodic table. Also, often in exams you will be asked to find the "Z" number of an atom, which is the same as the atomic number.The number of protons and electrons equals because the in an atom must always balance -- in other words, the charge in an atom must always be neutral.


Is it true that in an indivisual neutron atom the number of protons always equals the number of electrons?

There is no 'neutron atom'. If you mean 'neutral' atom, then the answer is yes.


Which element has the smallest number of proton in the atom?

The element with one proton per atom is hydrogen.


Number of protons in a hydrogen?

The "NUMBER" (#) of Protons in an Atom of Hydrogen is one (1). The number of protons is what makes a specific element that element. Hydrogen always has one proton no matter what. If someone says that a hydrogen atom has two protons(they are incorrect), it is no longer hydrogen; it is the element Helium.


Can the atom of hydrogen does not have a proton in its necleus?

no. elements are categorized by the number of protons. also if there are no protons. then it is no longer an atom


Which element has the smallest number of proton in its atom?

The element with one proton per atom is hydrogen.


What does the equation N equals A-Z mean?

N represents the number of neutrons in an atom, A represents the atom's mass number and Z is the atoms proton number. This makes sense because it shows that the mass number of an atom is the number of protons added to the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
