a neutrally charged atom has an equal number of both protons and neutrons, making the positive and negative charges the same. for example, in a neutrally charged atom, there would be 1 neutron and 1 proton.

What is the relationship between the atomic number and the electrons in neutral atom?
In a neutral atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. And by definition the atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in it. So the atomic number of a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons or the number of electrons in the atom.
What must a neutral atom with four protons contain?
A neutral atom must contain an equal number of electrons because it is a neutral atom.
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.
Is an atom neutral if it has a greater number of electrons than protons?
False. An atom is neutral if it has an equal number of protons and neutrons
When the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of orbiting electrons the atom is?
The atom is neutral
What is the relationship between the atomic number and the electrons in neutral atom?
In a neutral atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. And by definition the atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in it. So the atomic number of a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons or the number of electrons in the atom.
Which to particles in an atom are equal in number?
The protons and electrons are equal in number in a neutral atom
What must a neutral atom with four protons contain?
A neutral atom must contain an equal number of electrons because it is a neutral atom.
What is equal to the number of protons which is equal to the number of electrons?
Do you mean what does the number of protons equal? This is the atomic number of the element. All isotopes of an element will have the same number of protons, only the number of neutrons varies.
What makes an atom neutral?
An atom is neutral if the numbers of protons and electrons are equal it's neutral.
An atom is neutral if the atom has?
An equal number of protons and electrons.
What is the true number of protons and atomic number in a neutral atom?
The numbers of each are equal! Therefore the atom is neutral.
What is the number of electrons in a neutral atom equals?
In a neutral atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The opposite charge between protons and electrons is what allows for a neutral atom.
The number of these is equal to the number of electrons in an atom?
A neutral atom has equal numbers of elecrons and protons.
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.
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.
Are the number of electrons and protons in a atom equal?
Yes it is equal in the case of a (neutral) atom.
