The number of protons in a nucleus depends on which element it is. ( The number of protons is the decider as to which element it is. ) The number of electrons in an atom is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus, but none of the electrons are in the nucleus. Rather, they orbit around the nucleus like planets round a star.

How do the number of protons in the atomic nucleus normally compare to the number of electrons that orbit the nucleus?
The number of protons is usually the same as the number of electrons!:)
What do two different neutral isotopes of the same elements have in common?
They have the same number of protons in the nucleus and same number of electrons surrounding the nucleus.
Does a nucleus have the same number of protons and electrons?
The nucleus of an atom contains only protons and neutrons; there are never any electrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is generally equal to or greater than the number of protons.
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is its?
electrons
How many protons are in the nucleus of the carbon atom?
Its electrons and protons are the same. just determine its electrons form its atomic number
What do the number of electrons do to the number of protons in a atom?
They do nothing to the number of protons. They balance the charge of the protons in the nucleus.
Atomic number equals the number of?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus and in a neutral atom will also equal the number of electrons.
The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of?
It generally corresponds to the number of protons in its nucleus. In a neutral atom, this will also correspond to the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus; however, electrons are more likely to move around.
Where are the protons neutrons and electron located in the atom?
Protons and neutrons are located within the nucleus. Electrons are revolving around the nucleus.
What is the number of protons in the nucleus or the number the electrons in the energy levels called?
valence electrons
The atomic number is the number of what in the nucleus?
It is the number of protons and electrons in an atom
How do you find the number of electrons in an atom if you know the number of protons and neutrons?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons of the nucleus.
