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.


What atom number tells how many of these particles are in an atom?

The bigger number (Atomic mass) is the amount of protons (=same amount of electrons unless specified) and nutrons in an atom. The smaller number (atomic number) is the amount of protons only


What equals the amount of protons in an atom?

Yes


Number of protons in fluorine atom?

An atom's atomic number gives us its number of protons. Fluorine's atomic number is 9. Thus, it has 9 protons.


How many protons are in a carbom atom?

An atom's atomic number gives us its number of protons. Carbon's atomic number is 6. Thus, it has 6 protons.


Can an atom with 50 protons and 2electrons exist?

No it can't. There has to an equal amount of electrons as protons! This atom can't exist.


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)


How many protons in an atom in zicronium?

An atom's atomic number gives its number of protons. Zirconium has an atomic number of 40. Therefore, it must have 40 protons.


What is it an atom that has a different amount of protons and electrons?

Neutral


What information about the subatomic makeup of an atom is given by the atomic number?

The atomic number of an atom gives the number of protons in its nucleus, which also determines its unique identity as an element. It also indirectly gives the number of electrons in a neutral atom, as the number of protons is balanced by the number of electrons in the atom.
