Californium's atomic number is 98. Thus, to be neutral, it must have 98 protons and 98 electrons. 251Cf is its longest lived isotope and has 251 - 98 = 153 neutrons.

Protons neutrons and electrons combine to form what?

Protons, neutrons, and electrons can form any type of atom on the Periodic Table of Elements.The amount of protons determine what type of element an atom is.If the number of neutrons differ from the stable amount it should have, the atom is known as an isotope.If the amount of electrons differ from the amount of protons, the atom is known as an ion.


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.

Which take up the most space electrons protons or neutrons?

Electrons take up the least amount of space compared to protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are much larger in size compared to electrons and make up the majority of an atom's volume due to their mass.


What is the amount of protons neutrons electrons in oxygen?

8 protons 8 electrons and 8 neutrons. Oxygen has the atomic number 8, so it has 8 protons, 8 electrons. The number of neutrons would be mass number-atomic number, so 15.9994-8=7.9994, so rounding would be 8 neutrons.


Is the number of electrons equal the number of neutrons in an atom?

not usually, a standard atom will contain the same amount of electrons and PROTONS, not neutrons


Do Protons Neutrons or electrons have the most energy?

Electrons have the least amount of energy compared to protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons have similar amounts of energy in an atom, as they are found in the nucleus and contribute to the majority of the atom's mass.


What does a simple atom have in it?

electrons protons neutrons energy levels amount varies


How are electrons protons and neutrons positioned within an atom?

Electrons are on the outside rings of an atom. neutrons and protons are together in the nucleus of the atom. There is always the same number of protons and electrons in an atom, equal to the atomic number of the element. The amount of neutrons varies, even between atoms of the same number, these varieties of an element are called isotopes. If the amount of protons and electrons varies, it is called an ion, and the chemical number is still equal to the amount of protons.
