The mass number of an atom is equal to what?
proton
What is the mass number of atom equal to?
proton
Why is proton equal to electron?
because an atom is electrically neutral.
What is the importance of proton number in an atom?
The proton number of an atom determines what element it is an atom of. That is, it determines the chemical properties of the atom. It does this because the charge on the neutron is neutral, which means that the total charge of the nucleus is equal to the proton number, which it turn means that the number of electrons in the uncharged atom is equal to the proton number. And that in turn determines which electron shells will be filled and what valence electrons available. In this context, the proton number of the nucleus is the atomic number of theelement.
What is the relationship between the number of proton and the number of electrons in an atom?
equal
In an atom the proton always equals the number?
Yes, the amount of protons within the atom is always equal to its atomic number. If a proton is removed, you get a different element.
What is the number of electrons in an atom that is neutral atom with 30 protons and 34 nuetrons?
the no of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the total no of proton so no of electron is equal to 30.
Why number of electron are equal to the number of proton?
because an atom is electrically neutral
Where is the proton found in atom?

What does the number of proton in an atom determine?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the identity of the element.
Where in an atom do you find a proton?
You can find a proton (+) in the center of a atom.
