Each atom of an element has the same number of protons which is unique for that particular element ( = atom number in the periodic system)

An atom with a unique number of protons is called an element.
All atoms with the same number of protons are atoms of the same element. The number of protons is the atomic number of the element.
Charged atoms or molecules are called ions.

Can atoms become neutral and howAtoms are already neutral because they have both protons which are positive charged and electrons which are negatively charged. it has to be nueral because of the the same number of both negative and positive particles.
Neutrons are neutral charged, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. So since there are same number of protons and electrons, the atom becomes neutral charged/ electrically neutral entity. Simple as that!
A neutral atom with 49 electrons will have 49 protons. The number of protons and electrons are always the same in a neutral atom. If the number of protons is not matched by the number of electrons, then the atom is charged and is called an ion. Further, if protons outnumber electrons, the atom is positively charged and is a positive ion. For situations where electrons outnumber protons, the opposite is true. The element with 49 protons in it is indium, by the way.
When an element is in its neutral state the number of protons always equal number of electrons. For heavier elements like uranium, to get number of neutrons subtract number of protons from the atomic number. Equal protons and electrons = stable element.
Usually, for an neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons. If the atom is positively charged, it means that it has lost a certain number of electrons. For example, the Fe atom has 26 protons so 26 electrons in its neutral form. It can turns into Fe2+, in which case it would have lost 2 electrons. The new number of electrons is then 24. On the other side, Cl has 17 protons and 17 electrons. It can turn into Cl-, in which case it has gained one electron, the new number of electron is 18. Be careful, the number of protons does not change, it is the number of electrons.
These substances are called ions.
The number of protons and electrons in the atom. If the number of protons = number of electrons, it is electrically neutral. If number of protons > number of electrons, it is positively charged. If number of protons < number of electrons, it is negatively charged.
Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged. Each atom has the same number of electrons as protons.
Protons are positively charged; the number of protons equal the atomic number. They are the identifiers of chemical elements. Electrons are negatively charged an they are very important for chemistry.
All elements have the same number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons to maintain electrical / charge neutrality
Naturally, all elements have the same number of electrons and protons.
Protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. An ion with 8 protons and 10 electons would have a charge of 2- as there are 2 more electrons than protons.As this ion has 8 protons is must have an atomic number of 8 (oxygen) so the species in question is O2-.If an ion has more protons than electrons it will be positively charged.
The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to that of protons. If the atom is negatively charged, add it to the number of electrons; and if positive, subtract.
The number of protons compared to electrons is what determines the charge of the atom. If there are more protons than electrons the atom is positively charged. If there's more electrons than protons the atom is negatively charged. Does this answer your question?
Most atoms, in their most stable form, will have an equal number of Electrons and Protons. (Protons are Positively charged, Electrons are Negatively charged)
a neutron is neutral. it doesn't have the same number of protons and electrons, but an atom that is neutral does. A neutron has the same mass as a proton but it doesn't have a chrge. Protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged.
All atoms of the same element have the same number of Protons and Electrons in their atoms and also have a varying of number of Neutrons.Atoms of different elements have different numbers of Protons, Electrons and Neutrons.------------------------------------------------------------------It all depends on the substance the atoms are in. One thing for certain is there is the same amount of protons as there is electrons, unless the atom is ionized (has a net electrical charge). An anion (negatively charged atom) has more electrons than protons; a cation (positively charged atom) has more protons than electrons.the little number is the number of protons, the bigger number is the number of protons and neutrons added together.soprotons=electronsbig number-protons= neutronsget it?
