What else can I help you with?
How do you find the number of electrons in an atom if you know the number of protons and neutrons?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons of the nucleus.
What do you know about the numbers of protons and electrons in an atom?
The number of protons defines what element the atom is, and it also defines how many electrons the atom has in its various orbitals in a normal state.There is one electron per proton in an atom in a normal state.
How do you find the chemical element of an atom?
If you know how many protons the atom has, then that can tell you what element from the periodic table is classifying the atom.
How can atomic number be used to find the numbers of protons electrons and nuetron's?
The atomic number is the number of protons and therefore, assuming the atom is neutral, the number of electrons. You would need to additionally know the atomic mass to figure out the number of neutrons.
How do you find the atomic notation for an atom?
To find the atomic notation for an atom, you need to know the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. The atomic notation includes the element symbol, atomic number, and mass number. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the atom, and the mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the atom.
How do you find the number of protons or electrons in a neutral atom of an element?
The number of protons in an atom is equal to the atomic number of the element, which can be found on the periodic table. Since atoms are electrically neutral, the number of electrons in a neutral atom is also equal to the number of protons.
What atomic structure can we use to find out what period an atom belongs in?
We need to know the number of protons in the atomic nucleus.
How do we know what makes up the atom?
An atom contain protons, neutrons and electrons.
How do you find number of electrons in periodic table or how do you calculate the number of electrons?
A neutral atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons. The atomic numbers on the periodic table for each element are the number of protons. So, look up the element on the periodic table, note its atomic number, and you will then know the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom of that element. For example, magnesium (Mg) has atomic number 12. So a neutral Mg atom would have 12 protons and 12 electrons.
The is determined by the number of protons in an atom?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is known as the atomic number, which determines the chemical element, essentially different numbers of protons mean change the element you are looking at and hence the properties and reactions of that element.
An isotope is identified by its atomic mass number which is the total number of?
protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. The number of neutrons in an atom affects its stability and often determines its nuclear properties.
How many total electrons are present if the atom is electrically neutral in chlorine?
A neutral chlorine atom has 17 electrons. You can know this because chlorine's atomic number is 17, which is the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms, and a neutral atom has equal numbers of electrons and protons.
