atomic number
The number of Protrons in an Atom.
The number of protons in an atom is its atomic number.
The number of Protrons in an Atom.
Atomic number
The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in a single atom. Therefore, Bromine has 35 protons.
A neutral atom with 11 electrons would, by definition, have to have 11 protons. In this case, we are talking about Sodium.
The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which is typically found on the periodic table. The number of electrons in a neutral atom is also equal to the number of protons. If the atom is charged (an ion), the number of electrons may be different from the number of protons.
there are six protrons
It has 8 protons. The atomic number of an atom = the number of protons. The mass number is not needed in this problem. The mass number is the number of protons + number of neutrons.
Neutrons do not always equal the number of protons in an atom when there are isotopes present. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. This affects the atomic mass of the atom without changing its chemical properties.
Protons are the positively charged particles that are present in the nucleus of the atom and their number determines the atomic number of the atom.
Iodine has 53 protons, and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Therefore, iodine also has 53 electrons. This balance of protons and electrons ensures that the atom is electrically neutral.
