The atomic number, and electrons are both the same number as protons.
The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number.
Protons and electrons must be equal in a neutral atom because protons and electrons have equal but opposite charges.
No - in fact it is quite rare
The atomic number reflects the charge number of the nucleus. It is always equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus and in a neutral atom will also equal the number of electrons.
In a neutral atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. And by definition the atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in it. So the atomic number of a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons or the number of electrons in the atom.
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.
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons.
The number of protons in an atom of an element is equal to the number of electrons in that atom which is equal to that element's atomic number.
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.
Protons, neutrons, and electrons are subunits present in equal numbers in an atom. The number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons, while the number of neutrons can vary in different isotopes of an element.
The number of protons is identical to the number of electrons when an atom is in a neutral state.
