The atomic number of phosphorus is 15. So there are 15 protons and 15 electrons in phosphorus.
An atom with an atomic number of 20 has 20 electrons. The number of electrons in an atom is equal to its atomic number.
A neutral atom of uranium has 92 electrons. This is because the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and an atom is neutral when the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Uranium has an atomic number of 92, which corresponds to the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom of uranium.
The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.
The number of protons is equal to atomic number; in a neutral atom the number of electrons is also equal to the numbers of protons.
The atomic number of an element can be used to determine the number of electrons in an atom. It is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which also corresponds to the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
An atom with atomic number 8 corresponds to oxygen. Oxygen has 8 electrons because the number of electrons in an atom is equal to its atomic number.
No, the mass number (number of protons and neutrons) cannot be used to determine the number of electrons in an atom. The number of electrons in an atom is determined by the number of protons in the nucleus, which is the atomic number. Electrons are equal in number to protons in a neutral atom.
A neutral atom has equal numbers of elecrons and protons.
The number of electrons in an atom can be determined by looking at the atomic number of the element on the periodic table. The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
The neutral iodine atom contain the same number of electrons as protons - 53.
Iodine has 53 electrons. The atomic number equals the number of protons in an atom, and since iodine is neutrally charged, it also equals the number of electrons.
The number of electrons depends on what type of atom it is.
