What is the number of protons in a neutral atom equal to?
The number of protons equals the number of electrons in an uncharged atom.
What is uncharged atom?
One where the number of protons (+) equal the number of electrons (-). one were the proton cancels out the electrons Ex. -5 +5 makes 0 uncharged atoms
How many protons in an uncharged atom?
equals the total number of electrons in the orbital shells.
What does it take for an atom to be neutral or uncharged?
To have an equal number of protons and electrons, it has nothing to do with the number of neutrons!
How many electrons does an uncharged atom of palladium have?
An uncharged atom of palladium has 46 electrons. This is because the atomic number of palladium is 46, which represents the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
How many electrons are in an uncharged atom?
The same number as there are "protons" in the atoms nucleus.
When is an atom uncharged or neutral?
An atom is uncharged or neutral when the number of protons in its nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus. This balance of positive and negative charges results in the atom having no overall charge.
The atomic number of an atom is also equal to which quantity?
Firstly, an atom is uncharged by definition. If it is charged, that is it has gained or lost electrons, its name is changed to an ion. The atomic number is the number of protons of an atom of that element. And the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
How many electrons does an uncharged atom polonium have?
polonium has 84 protons and 125 neutrons.84 electrons
What is uncharged?
One where the number of protons (+) equal the number of electrons (-). one were the proton cancels out the electrons Ex. -5 +5 makes 0 uncharged atoms
Does the number of proton in an uncharged atom equil to number of electron in the orbital shells?
Yes, in an uncharged atom, the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons occupying the orbital shells around the nucleus. This balance of positive protons and negative electrons is what keeps the atom electrically neutral.
Is the number of protons equal to the number of ions in a uncharged atom?
You appear to misunderstand. A charged atom is named an ION. It is NOT an atom. An atom of any element has a given number of protons. That same atom when it becomes an ion still contains the same number of protons. The difference between an atom and an ion is the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus. e.g. Sodium An atom of Sodium contains 11 protons and 11 electrons ; Symbol (Na) An ion of Sodium contains 11 protons and 10 electrons ; Symbol (Na^(+)). Note the same number of protons , but a different number of electrons. NNB If an atom of an element , gains of loses protons, then it becomes a different element. This involves a nuclear reactor; not a chemistry lab. e.g. Hydrogen ; 1 proton Helium ; 2 protons.
