Under normal conditions, i.e. non-ionic, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.

∙ 15y agoIn a neutral atom, there are the same number of electrons in the electron cloud as there are protons in the nucleus.

∙ 13y agoThe number of electrons and protons are (almost) always matched in an atom.
The neutrons are pieces that, when ejected from an atom, have a half life of about 15 minutes, and split into a proton and an electron, with the emission of the binding energy.
Their mass is very similar to that of a proton, for electrons have only about 1/1800 of the mass of a proton.

∙ 13y agoIf the atom has a charge of 0, then protons and electrons are equal in number. If the charge is not 0, then they are not equal. Protons and neutrons can also be equal in number but they are not neccessarily so. That is usually only ever true for smaller atoms such as hydrogen. In those atoms it is also possible that all 3 particles could be equal.

What are two particles in an atom?
There're two particles in the atom nucleus (protons and neutrons)
One of the kinds of particles found in the nucleus of an atom is the?
There are two particles found in the nuclei of atoms, Protons and Neutrons.
Which two atomic particles have equal but opposite charge?
Electrons and protons (subatomic particles).
What are the two things that the thermal energy depends on?
- How fast the particles are moving - The number of particles in a substance
How is helium form by placing an alpha particle emitter into a jar?
alpha particles contain two protons and two neutrons-identical to a helium atom. alpha particles do not initially have electrons, but they will take them from their environment in the jar.
Which two particles in an atom are equal of in number?
protons and electrons.
Which two particles in a atom are equal in number?
Electrons and protons.
What two particles in an atom always have the same number?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
What are the same number of these two particles in an atom?
Protons and electrons.
Which two subatomic particles are present in equal number in every atom of the same?
In each neutral atom of any given element, the numbers of electrons and protons are equal, as the charges in the atom must balance. Only the neutron number may vary amongst atoms of the same element.
Total number of particles in the nucleus is called what?
There are two types of particles in the nucleus of an atom, which are the Protons and the Neutrons. The number of particles in the nucleus depends what is the element. For example, Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in the nucleus and Phosphorus has 15 protons and 16 neutrons in the nucleus.
What are two particles in an atom?
There're two particles in the atom nucleus (protons and neutrons)
Which two subatomic particles are present in equal numbers in an atom?
In each neutral atom of any given element, the numbers of electrons and protons are equal, as the charges in the atom must balance. Only the neutron number may vary amongst atoms of the same element.
What will happen to an atom is an alpha particles emits or adds?
Alpha particles are emitted from the atom taking with it 2 protons and (I am pretty sure) two neutrons. This will change the atomic number of the atom and the atomic weight.
What two subatomic particles must be the same to a maintain a neutral atom?
The question is a bit fuzzy, but I'll interpret it to mean what two particles need to be present in the same numbers to maintain a neutral atom. The answer is protons (with a positive charge) and electrons (with a negative charge). The charges for each are equal and opposite, so when they are balanced in equal numbers, the atom is electrically neutral.
Which two particles in an atoms are equal in number?
Under normal conditions, i.e. non-ionic, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
Which two particles are located in the nucleus of a carbon atom?
There are more than two particles in a carbon atom. There are two TYPES of particles, which are protons and neutrons. There are six protons, and 16 known amounts of neutrons Check here for info on the number of neutrons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_carbon
