4+ because however much more protons there are then that is the charge

What is the total number of protons neutrons and electrons in Na2SO4 assuming 23Na 32S and 16O?
We know that sodium is atomic number 11, and it has 11 protons, 11 electrons (in a neutral atom), and will have 12 neutrons in its sodium-23 isotope. Sulfur is atomic number 16, and will have 16 protons, 16 electrons (in a neutral atom), and will have 16 neutrons in it sulfur-32 isotope. Oxygen has atomic number 8, and has 8 protons, 8 electrons (in a neutral atom) and will have 8 neutrons in its oxygen 16 isotope. If we take 2 sodium atoms, a sulfur atom and 4 oxygen atoms, we'll have a total of 70 protons, 72 neutrons and 70 electrons in sum.
Oxygen has eight protons in its nucleus. calculate the number of neutrons and electrons in a neutral oxygen 16 atoms?
Oxygen-16 has 8 electrons and 8 neutrons.
Why do elements always have the same atomic numbers but not the same atomic mass?
Most elements have isotopes---atoms that have the same number of protons (and hence they are still that element) but different numbers of neutrons. For instance, sulfur found in nature has four stable isotopes: S-32 16 protons 16 neutrons S-33 16 protons 17 neutrons S-34 16 protons 18 neutrons S-36 16 protons 20 neutrons Each of these isotopes has a different mass, but all are sulfur because they have 16 protons.
What is the name mass number and atomic number of an element with 16 protons and 16 neutrons?
Well, if an atom has 16 protons, then it is Sulfur, which is a non metal. If it had 16 neutrons, then it would be another isotope of sulfur, which would make it Sulfur-32. Then, unless it has a charge, there would also be 16 electrons.
Does phosphorus-31 have 16 protons?
No, Phosphorus 31 does not have 16 protons. All Phosphorus atoms have the same number of protons, since the number of protons is what determines which element it is. For phosphorus, the atomic number is 15, meaning it has 15 protons. Phosphorus 31 also has 16 neutrons and 15 electrons.
The nucleus of an atom contains 12 protons and 12 neutrons while the necleus of another atom contains 12 protons and 16 neutrons what are the atoms?
I believe it is two isotopes of an element. Because an isotope is the amount of protons. with a different number of neutrons in the nucleus. hopefully this will help :)
Atoms in sulfur?
The most common isotope of a sulphur atom has 16 electrons, 16 protons, and 16 neutrons.
How many protons and neutrons does Sulfur have?
16 neutrons and 16 protons

What are the subatomic particles in the isotope 28Mg?
12 electrons, 12 protons, and 16 neutrons

If an atoms has 17 protons and 16 electrons what is the charge?
Its charge must be +1, no matter how many neutrons are there.
How many protons does sulfur have?
The number of protons and neutrons is 16 protons and 16 neutrons.
What is the number of protons electrons and neutrons in sulfur?
The number of electrons and protons in a neutral sulfur atom is the same as the atomic number of sulfur, which is 16. However, the number of neutrons can vary: Four isotopes of sulfur occur naturally, with 16, 17, 18, and 20 neutrons. Some 95 % of the atoms in a typical sample have 16 neutrons per atom.
How can you find out the number of neutrons in an atoms nucleus?
By the process of elimination. For example, The atomic weight of an atom is just the number of its protons, and the atomic mass is the total weight of protons and neutrons in the atom. So, the atomic weight of Oxygen is 8(protons) and the atomic mass is 16(protons + neutrons) so we can tell that there are 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
How many protons and neutrons does phospherus have?
Phosphorous has 15 protons and 16 neutrons.
