It all depends on the atom.
Carbon atoms often have 6 protons and 6 neutrons for example.

What is a direct consequence of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nuceuls?
Number of proton = atom numberfor example:Hydrogen has 1 proton and its atom number is also 1Number of neutrons + number of protons = mass numberfor example:Hydrogen have 1 proton and and NO neutrons, so the mass number is 1Helium has 2 protons and and 2 neutrons, so the mass number is 4
How is mass number and atomic number the same?
They are not. Atomic number is the total number of protons in an atom. Mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons. The only isitope in which they are the same is Hydrogen-1 with 1 proton and no neutrons.
What is the total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom?
The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.
Why are electrons number the same as neutrons number?
They are NOT. The number of electrons and the number of neutrons are not linked at all - for instance, an atom of Hydrogen has one proton and one electron and NO neutrons.
In an atom the number of proton equals the number of neutrons?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons; it may or may not also equal the number of neutrons.

What is the atom number in a proton?
there are no atoms in a proton. a Proton is a part in the nuleus of an atom. the other parts of an atom are neutrons and electrons
What is the total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom?
The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.
What does the Mass number in chemistry represent?
the atomic mass incdicated the amount of protons and neutrons of the atom
Why are electrons number the same as neutrons number?
They are NOT. The number of electrons and the number of neutrons are not linked at all - for instance, an atom of Hydrogen has one proton and one electron and NO neutrons.
In an atom the number of proton equals the number of neutrons?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons; it may or may not also equal the number of neutrons.
How is the number of neutrons in an atom worked out?
they work because in every atom there is a neutron, electron and proton. the electron will tell you what the atomic number is and the neutrons and protons will tell you what element it is.
Where about in an atom would you find a proton?
You can find a proton in the nucleus of the atom along with neutrons.
What have one proton and no neutrons in its nucleus?
The only element that has one proton and no neutrons is a hydrogen atom.
How the protones of atoms are together in nucleus?
depends on the proton number of the atom, for nitrogen it's 7 so there are 7. The mass number is the number of protons and neutrons so if you subtract the proton number you get the number of neutrons too
Why is proton number of an atom of an element different from the nucleon number of an atom of an element?
The difference between proton number (which is atomic number) and nucleon number, which is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus, is the number of neutrons in the nucleus of a given nuclide. Nucleons are the components of an atomic nucleus. We know that both protons and neutrons make up an atom's nucleus. So the number of nucleons, which is the number of protons and neutrons, minus the number of protons, will equal the number of neutrons in the atomic nucleus.
