There is none, but a neutral atom is called a neutron. There is no neutral element.

How do you find number of electrons in periodic table or how do you calculate the number of electrons?
A neutral atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons. The atomic numbers on the periodic table for each element are the number of protons. So, look up the element on the periodic table, note its atomic number, and you will then know the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom of that element. For example, magnesium (Mg) has atomic number 12. So a neutral Mg atom would have 12 protons and 12 electrons.
Neutral atom of a certain element has 15 electrons?
What is element 15? If it's the element on the periodic table with the atomic number 15, it would be Phosphorus which does have electrons, 15 of them. All elements on the periodic table have electrons.
What on the periodic table has 12 electrons?
Magnesium, Mg, atom number 12, 12 protons and 12 electrons.
How do you know the number of electrons in a neutral atom?
The number of electrons will equal the number of protons in a neutral atom. And this will also equal the atomic number (the number of an element in the periodic table of Mendeleev).
How do you calculate number of electrons of a given element?
You can only be sure of the number of electrons if the element is electrically neutral. If an element is electrically neutral, then the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons which is the atomic number of the element. For instance an electrically neutral atom of carbon, there are 6 electrons because there are 6 protons in a carbon atom.

What is the element whose atom has 8 electrons when neutral?
The number of electrons corresponds to the "index" number of the element in the periodic table. The 8th element is Oxygen, which has 8 atoms when neutral. That didnt answer the question. ANSWER Neon has 8 electrons :)
How can you find number of electrons in an atom?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. The number of protons is the atomic number of the element on the periodic table.
Neutral atom of a certain element has 15 electrons?
What is element 15? If it's the element on the periodic table with the atomic number 15, it would be Phosphorus which does have electrons, 15 of them. All elements on the periodic table have electrons.
Which element on the periodic table has 54 electrons?
Elements on the periodic table are arranged according to the number of protons in their nucleus, also known as their atomic number.54th element on the periodic table is Xenon.
How do you calculate protons and electrons?
Refer to the Periodic Table to find an element's atomic number. This gives the proton number of that element, as well as the number of electrons (assuming the atom is neutral). For example, carbon has an atomic number of 6, which means it has six protons, and - when neutral - 6 electrons, as well.
What on the periodic table has 12 electrons?
Magnesium, Mg, atom number 12, 12 protons and 12 electrons.
What are protons and electrons equal to on the periodic table?
The equivalence is with the atomic number.
Do the number on the periodic table stand for the number of protons an element has?
Actually, it stands for the number of electrons. Then, in a neutral atom, number of protons are equal to the electrons. So this statement is correct.
Do hydrogen and atoms have an equal number of electrons?
No. Neutral atoms of each element, including hydrogen, have a unique number of electrons, which is equal to the number of protons in their nuclei. The number of protons is the element's atomic number on the periodic table.
An element atomic number is the what?
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons (in the neutral state) Also the atomic number is the number of the position of a chemical element in the periodic table of Mendeleev.
How do you know the number of electrons in a neutral atom?
The number of electrons will equal the number of protons in a neutral atom. And this will also equal the atomic number (the number of an element in the periodic table of Mendeleev).
