In the atomic structure of an element a zero charge is exhibited by?
The zero charge in an atomic structure of an element is exhibited by the equal number of protons and electrons.
The atomic number is the number of what in an element?
An element's atomic number is a count of how many protons are normally part of the element's nucleus. Since protons are normally the only particle in the nucleus with a charge (+), the atomic number also represents the charge of the nucleus.
What charge does the letter x have in an atomic structure?
Letter X could be any element. It has charge depending on name of element.
How do you find how many electrons an atom has?
Knowing which element it is and its formal charge, subtract the charge from its atomic number.
Why is the atomic number of an element based on the number of protons in its nucleus?
The atomic number of an element is based on the number of protons in its nucleus because it is equivalent to its charge number.
What does a number of protons for an element mean?
The atomic number number of an element, and the magnitude of the positive electrical charge on a nucleus of the atoms of the element.
What subatomic particle has a positive charge and identifies an element by its atomic number?
The proton.
What is the charge on an element with 0 neutrons and 1 proton and atomic number 1?
This is Hydrogen. Assuming it is not ionized it will have no charge.
What atom or isotope of an element has an atomic mass of 26 charge of 3 13 protons 13 neutrons and 10 electrons?
The number of protons identifies this element as aluminum, which has an atomic number of 13. The number of protons is an element's atomic number on the periodic table. Every element has its own unique atomic number which defines it as that element.
What does an element's atomic number tell about that emelent?
The number of protons in each nucleus of an atom of the element. Also if this element is an atom and not an ion (has no charge) the Atomic number is equal to the number of electrons in its quantum shells
How is the number of electrons is a neutral atom of a given element related to the atomic number of that element?
The atomic number tells you how many protons are in the element. The proton count is the same as the electron count as all elements have a charge of zero giving them the same. Simplified: the atomic number shows you how many electrons and protons are in the element. If it is a compound and it has a charge of +1 that means the element has lost one electron and has a positive charge. If it gained a electron it would be -1 as electrons are negatively charged.
