Ideally, all elements should have the same number of protons, neutrons and electrons unless they become ionic. This is how elements such as the noble gases remain stable. They the same number of electrons, protons, and neutrons, and a full octet.

What is the sum of protons and neutrons known as an element?
Sum of protons and neutrons is the Mass number of the element. The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. Neutrons and protons are sub atomic particles.
What Atomic particle controls its reactivity?
The number of protons in the nucleus will ALWAYS be the same for a specific element.(ex: Hydrogen always has EXACTLY 1 proton)But, the number of electons and neutrons can vary in a particular element.
The mass number of an atom indicates the number of what?
The mass number is the sum of protons + neutrons.
An element's atomic mass number is?
It is about neutrons and protons. The total of neutrons and protons.
What are the element number of neutrons?
Number of Neutrons = Mass number - Number of Protons
What element has the same number of neutrons and protons?
Atoms having the same number of protons and neutrons make up the same element.
What are the number of protons neutrons and electrons in an element?
Number of protons = Number of electrons = Atomic number Number of neutrons = Atomic number - Number of protons
Is the atomic weight of an element is equal to the number of protons minus the number of neutrons?
Atomic weight of an element is the number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus, atomic number is the number of protons only.
What is and element?
an atom is the basic unit of life. it is composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. an element is composed of a single type of atom (for example: pure gold is made up of atoms containing exactly 79 protons and 79 electrons...the number of neutrons varies depending on if the atoms are isotopes)
Finding the number of neutrons in an element?
Number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons
Two isotopes of the same element have the same number of what?
They have the same number of protons and different number of neutrons.
What is the name number tells you the amount of protons and neutrons in an element?
Number of protons + Number of neutrons = Mass number(number of nucleons)
