The amount of protons in an atom is the atomic?

The amount of protons in an atom is its atomic number


What is the difference the atomic number of 6 of an atom and it's mass number?

If the atomic number of an atom is 6 it means that the atom has 6 protons, the mass number on the other hand is the total amount of protons and neutrons in the atom. ( Remember- the amount of protons equals the amount of electrons). So for example if you wanted to find out the amount of neutrons in an atom, you would subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass for the answer. (Whole-protons=neutrons)


Does an atom have a charge if the neutrons equals the protons?

It depends on the amount of electrons in the outer shells. The neutrons do not affect the charge of an atom as they are already neutron. There is only a charge if there is a difference in protons and electrons, not protons and neutrons.


The atomic number equals the?

It is found by m.g mosly. It is equals or protons that atom has.


What is the total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom?

The total amount of protons and neutrons in an atom is its mass number.


When is an atom neutral When mass number equals number of protons equals number of electrons or when atomic number equals number of protons equals number of electrons?

An atom is neutral if the number of protons and the number of electrons it has are the same.


What is the number of protons in a neutral atom equal to?

The number of protons equals the number of electrons in an uncharged atom.


Where are protons and neutrons of an atom contained?

The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons. Different amount of neutrons- Isotopes. Different amount of protons- Different element.


In an atom the proton always equals the number?

Yes, the amount of protons within the atom is always equal to its atomic number. If a proton is removed, you get a different element.


When the number of protons in an atom equals the number of electrons the atom is this?

neutral


What do protons equal on the periodic table?

In an atom of an element, the amount of protons in that atom equal the amount of electrons in the atom, but only if it is a neutral atom. That then eqals the atomic number of that element.


The mass of an atom is eaual to?

The mass of an atom equals to the number of protons and neutrons.
