An atom may have less, the same, or more neutrons than protons. The number of neutrons determine which isotope of an element you have.
You do expect the number of protons and electrons to be the same however. If an atom loses or gains an electron to cause the number of electrons and protons to be mismatched we call that an ion rather than an atom.
What else can I help you with?
Does the number of protons always equal the number of electrons?
In the atom state (not ionic), yes.
Number of protons inside the atomic nucleus?
Number of protons is always equal to the atomic number of an element. Example-at.no. Of hydrogen is one so it has one proton
What atomic number always equal to the total number of?
Electrons or Protons. As they are effectively equal in no in a neutral atom.
An equal number of protons and neutrons typically results in an atom that is?
Often, but not always, atoms with an equal number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus are stable and not radioactive.
Equal to the number of protons in an atom found on the periodic table?
The atomic number or the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
In an atom the number of protons is always equal to the number of what?
No - in fact it is quite rare
In an atom the number of protons is always equal to the number of?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons.
What is the atomic number always equal to?
The atomic number reflects the charge number of the nucleus. It is always equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.
Does the number of neutrons always equal the number of protons?
No
What subatomic particle is always equal in neutral atoms?
protons and electrons will always be = number
What is the number of protons always equivalent to?
For a chemical element the number of protons is equal to the atomic number.
What does the atomic number always equal inside an atom?
Atomic number is always equal to the number of protons in an atom.
Does the number of protons always equal the number of electrons in a atom?
No
What two particles in an atom always have the same number?
Protons and electrons in an atom always have the same number, which determines the atom's overall charge. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of the element, while the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.
Is the number of valence electrons equal to the number of protons?
No, the number of valence electrons is not always equal to the number of protons. The number of valence electrons is determined by the group number of an element on the periodic table, while the number of protons is the atomic number of the element.
Are protons and electrons always equal?
yes,,,because the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. No, when electons are lost or gained by an atom (number of protons stays the same) the atoms become 'ions,' which are positively or negatively charged respectively.
Does the number of protons always equal the number of electrons?
In the atom state (not ionic), yes.
