No: an atom can gain or lose electrons and become a negative or positive ion. An atom that does have the same number of electrons as protons is said to be stable.

What do you get when the number of electrons is not the same as the number of protons?
When an atom loses or gains electrons to become stable it becomes an ion. The number of electrons and protons is then not the same.
Do isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons?
Yes. because isotopes onyl have different number of neutrons but not protons and therefore, number of electrons will also remain same as NUMBER OF ELECTRONS=NUMBER OF PROTONS
Which type of atom has the same number of protons and electrons?
A neutral atom is an atom that has the same number of electrons as it does protons.
What atoms have the same number of protons and electrons?
Stable atoms of any element have the same number of protons and electrons.
Do electrons and protons have the same number?
Yes, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons. The number of protons is also equal to the number of electrons
How many electrons are in mendelevium?
101 electrons...to find the number of electrons in an element, you need to know the number of protons. There are the same amount of protons as electrons. The number of protons is the same number as the atomic number. Mendelevium has 101 as its atomic number therefore 101 protons and therefore 101 electrons.

The number of electrons in an atom is the same as the number of protons.
Do protons and electrons always have the same quantity?
No. In an ion, the number of protons and number of electrons are different.
How do you find the number of protons and electrons in an element?
The atomic number of the element is the number of protons, therefore there has to be the same amount of electrons to protons.
What substance has the same number of protons and electrons?
All neutral atoms have the same number of protons and electrons as they are electrically neutral.
Which atom has same number of protons and electrons?
All atoms have the same number of protons and electrons. That is on the whole how atoms are classified. If there is an imbalance between electrons and protons then they are called ions.
What do protons the atomic number and electrons have in common?
they come in the same ammount. since the protons are positive and the electrons are negative, they attract, and come in the same number. there may be exceptions, but in your average atom, there are the same number of protons and electrons.
What are elements with the same number of protons but different number of electrons called?
elements with the same number of protons but different number of electrons are called ions.
What do you need to build a neutral atom?
The atom needs to have the same number of electrons as it has protons.
Are there the same amount of protons as there are of electrons in and atom?
NoYes. A neutral atom will have the same number of protons and electrons.
How many electrons are there if a carbon atom has 6 protons?
6... the number of electrons are the same of protons and the number od protons is how you can get your atomic number
How can you find the number of protons and electrons in a element?
the number of protons and electrons are the same. on the Periodic Table of Elements you will see your element that you are looking for, then you will see there is a number under it. )ex. 9=flourine) that number is the number of protons. then, usually the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons are the same.
