What else can I help you with?
The number of protons and neutrons in an atom?
Depends on the atom. The atomic number will give you the number of protons. The atomic weight will give you approximately the number of protons and neutrons combined.
Is an atom of iron the same the same as atom of oxygen?
An atom of iron has 26 protons. An atom of oxygen has 8 protons. The atoms are significantly different.
What particles in an atom give its charge?
Protons, they have a positive charge.
The protons and neutrons in an atom add up to give the atom's?
Mass number/Atomic Mass
Does the number of electrons in an atom give its atomic number?
The number of protons is equal to atomic number; in a neutral atom the number of electrons is also equal to the numbers of protons.
What is atomic mass number minus protons?
atomic mass number - protons = number or neutrons
Where are the protons in an atom?
The protons are in the center of a atom.
Why we do assume that there are the same number of protons and elecrtrons in an atom?
Atoms are electrically neutral. If the protons and electrons were unequal, there would be an overall charge. That would give an ion, not an atom.
Does number of electrons in an atom give it atomic number?
Yes, the number of electrons in an atom is equal to its atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and since atoms are electrically neutral, they have the same number of electrons.
An atom of chlorine has 6 more protons than an atom of sodium How many protons does an atom of chlorine have?
An atom of chlorine has 17 protons, while an atom of sodium has 11 protons. Therefore, an atom of chlorine has 6 more protons than an atom of sodium.
What two parts of an atom give it most of it's weight?
protons and neutrons
What does the protons and neutrons tell you about the oxygen atom?
protons will tell the atomic number (8) the sum of protons and neutrons will give the mass number of the element
