Neon
What else can I help you with?
What element whose neutral atoms have ten neutrons?
The element with neutral atoms containing ten neutrons is neon. Neon has an atomic number of 10, so it always has 10 protons and 10 electrons.
What atom has ten neutrons and ten protons?
The atom is neon and the isotope will be 10Ne20
How many electrons does a neon have if its a neutral atom?
Neon has ten electrons and as a Nobel gas is generally neutral
Does sodium have ten neutrons?
Actually, the element Sodium has eleven (11) electrons. You can tell by its Atomic number. (The number at the top left side of the element's box.)The Atomic number is both the element's proton and electron number.
What is the symbolic name for a carbon atom with ten neutrons?
The symbol for carbon is C and its atomic number is 6.
What ion has 8 protons and 10 electrons?
There is no atom or element that has one proton, one neutron and ten electrons. Duterium has one proton, one neutron and one electron (in a neutral atom). Tritium has one proton, two neutrons and one electron (in a neutral atom), but that is the closest. In any neutral atom the number of electrons will equal the number of protons in the nucleus of that atom. An atom with one proton in its nucleus and 10 electrons just isn't possible.
What are the top ten foods?
The answer is that, first, different atoms of the same element will not have different atomic numbers because the identity of an element is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus. And the number of protons of an atom is its atomic number. Pick any atom of that element and it will have that unique number of protons. Elemental identity and proton count are inseparably linked. Said another way, all of the atoms of that element will have the same atomic number - the same number of protons. Electrons can come and go, being borrowed or loaned out in chemical activity, but the proton count remains constant for a given element. Now to the Atomic Mass. It turns out that for a given atom (and that atom will have a fixed number of protons), the number of neutrons can vary. Said another way, the number of neutrons in any atom of a given element can be different from one atom of that element to another atom of that element. We say that a given element has different isotopes. It has its fixed number of protons, but the number of neutrons isn't fixed. Each isotope has that same characteristic number of protons, but the number of neutrons can vary from one atom to the next. Let's take an example. Lithium has 3 protons in its nucleus. Every atom of lithium is like this. Its atomic number is three. Always. But what about neutrons? It turns out that there are two stable configurations possible. One has 3 neutrons. Its atomic mass is about 6.015 or so. Recall that subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass gives us the number of neutrons in the nucleus of that atom. The 6.015 minus the 3 yields an answer of 3 for the number of neutrons. There is also a lithium atom that has 4 neutrons in its nucleus. Its atomic mass is about 7.016 or so. Same math. Take the 7.016 and subtract the 3 and get 4 as the answer - and the number of neutrons in the nucleus of that atom. Those are the two stable isotopes of lithium. (There are a number of other isotopes of lithium, but they're all unstable and disappear fairly quickly after being made in the physics lab.) Pick any other element and it will have a unique identity based on the number of protons in the nucleus. But it will have different numbers of neutrons as you look around at different atoms of that element. The different numbers of neutrons account for the different atomic masses of given isotopes of that element.
How many elcetrons protons neutrons does the element neon have?
neon has ten of each.
Which subatomic particle identifies an atom of a particular element?
It's the count of one of the subatomic particles in the nucleus, the proton, that is significant in this regard. For example, an atom is hydrogen if and only if it has one proton in its nucleus. It is neon if and only if it has ten protons in its nucleus.
How many electons are there if there is 9 protons and 9 neutrons?
then it would have 9 protons, 9 electrons,

10 Protons 10 Neutrons in the most common isotope.
