A neutral carbon atom contains how many neutrons protons and electrons?
For the isotope carbon-12: 6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons
Is the nucleus of a positively charged atom positive negative or neutral?
The nucleus of an atom is always positive, even if it loses or gains electrons to form ions. Ionization affects the electrons in the electron cloud, but not the contents of the nucleus. The numbers of both the protons and neutrons in the nucleus will remain the same for whatever isotope is undergoing ionization. For example, the most abundant isotope of calcium is calcium-40, in which the nucleus contains 20 protons and 20 neutrons, and the electron cloud contains 20 electrons. When calcium atoms react with a nonmetal, they lose 2 electrons from the electron cloud and develop a 2+ charge, but the contents of the nucleus still contain 20 protons and 20 neutrons.
An atom which has 4 protons and 6 neutrons will be electrically neutral if it contains?
It will have 6 electrons since an atom is neutral when its number of protons is the same as its number of electrons.
A neutral atom contains 5 neutrons and 4 protons. How many electrons does it contain?
4 A+
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in an atom of calcium-42?
Calcium has atomic number 20, which means that all calcium atoms have 20 protons in their atomic nuclei. Neutral calcium atoms also have 20 electrons. Isotopes of calcium vary in the number of neutrons in their atomic nuclei, and are named for their mass number, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. You can calculate the number of neutrons (N) in an isotope by subtracting the number of protons (atomic number) from the mass number. N = 42 - 20 = 22, therefore, a calcium-42 isotope has 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 22 neutrons.

What is the element that has 20 neutrons?
Several can. Perhaps you meant to ask which has 20 protons, in which case the answer is calcium. (Calcium is also one of the elements that can have 20 neutrons, but it's not the only one.)
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in a neutral atom of 64Cu atomic number 29?
There are similar number of neutrons and protons. It contains 29 neutrons and protons.
What are the charging of protons electrons and neutrons?
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.
What is number of electrons for calcium?
A neutral atom of calcium has 20 electrons
What property's do protons and electrons have that neutrons don't?
Protons and electrons are charged particles and neutrons have no charge because they are neutral.
