In an element: yes

Ions vary, like Ca+2 has two less electrons than protons.

Do electrically neutral atoms have the same number of electrons and proton?

Yes, surely the same + and - charge


Is an atoms number of protons is always the same as its number of valence electrons?

For neutral atoms, the electron number is always the same as the proton number.For ions, charged atoms, the proton number is different than the electron number by the charge (e.g. a hydrogen ion, H(+1) has 1 proton and 0 electrons, 1 more proton than electrons).


Is most atoms have more electrons than proton?

Yes, most atoms do have more electrons than protons. This is because atoms are electrically neutral, and the number of protons (positive charge) in the nucleus is balanced by the number of electrons (negative charge) surrounding the nucleus.


Do all the atoms have the same proton number?

In respect to different elements, no they don't, in respect to like atoms of one particular element, yes they do. The electrons are the particles that vary from like atoms of the same element. When the electrons and protons are uneven within an atom, you have a radioactive element.


What are two atoms that the same number of proton called?

Two atoms that have the same number of protons are called isotopes.


What do all atoms of a certain element have the same number of?

Proton Number


What number is also the same as proton number and the number of electrons of a neutral atom?

Atomic Number


Neutral atoms of neon atomic number of 10 have the same number of electrons as each what except?

Neutral atoms of neon have the same number of electrons as atoms of fluorine, magnesium, and sodium, excluding helium atoms.


How atoms of the same element can be different?

An element by definition refers to all atoms with the same number of protons; so any atom with 1 proton is the same element as all other atoms with one proton; which would be helium. And then, all atoms with 2 protons would be the same element; hydrogen. But the atoms that have 1 proton and the atoms that have 2 protons cannot be the same element.An ion is an element with a different amount of electrons, where if it is a positive ion it is missing an election compared to a "normal" element and if it is a negative ion it would have an extra election compared to a "normal" element.An isotope is a member of the same element but it has a different number of neutrons.


How do we know if two atoms of the same element?

The number of protons.


Atoms have the same number of?

Protons and electrons


Is most atoms have more electrons than proton false or true?

False. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. This balance between positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons is what keeps the atom electrically neutral.
