If an atom of an element has six protons and eight neutrons how many electrons is in this atom if its neutral?
When we consider charged particles, we are only concerned with protons and electrons. Neutrons have no charge, so they don't contribute to a positive or negative charge. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. They are both equally positive and negative, that is to say one proton cancels out the charge of one electron. So as long as there are equal numbers of protons and electrons, the particle will be neutral. If there are six protons, then there needs to be six electrons in order to be neutral.
What would the charge of an atom be if it has six protons and six electrons-?
Zero, the atom would be electrostatically neutral.. the 6 positive charges of the protons are cancelled out by the 6 negatives of the electrons
What would change of an atom be if it has six protons and six electrons?
P + and e - As the charges are balanced in this atom the atom is neutral.
Which element is an atom with six protons in the nucleus?
An atom with six protons in the nucleus is a carbon element.
What is the atomic number of an atom that has six protons neutrons and electrons?
atomic number = number of protons = 6
What would the charge of an atom be if it has six protons ans six electrons?
An atom has no net charge, and is therefore neutral, as long as the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons. There would be no charge. If there is the same number of protons to electrons, there would be no extra attraction to create a charge.
What atom has a nucleus containing six protons and eight neutrons and has six electrons orbiting the nucleus?
Neon
Why are number of electrons and protons in boron equal?
Boron has an atomic number of 5, which means that it has 5 protons in its nucleus. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus. Therefore, a boron atom has 5 electrons to balance the 5 protons.
What is the elemental symbol for an atom with seven protons six neutrons and five electrons?
n
How many electrons in a carbon atom?
there is the same number of electrons ans protons. and the proton number is 6. so you have 6 electrons.
What element has 6 protons and 6 electrons?
The basic Carbon atom has six protons and six electrons
If an atom contains 6 protons how many electrons does it have?
All of the elements in Group 16 (Group 6A) have 6 valence electrons. Their atomic numbers are 8 for oxygen, 16 for sulfur, 34 for selenium, 52 for tellurium, 84 for polonium, and 116 for ununhexium.
