What is the relationship between the atomic number of protons and the atomic number?
The atomic number and number of protons are always the same in a normal element.
What is the relationship between two elements located in the same column on the periodic table?
They have the same number of valence electrons (electrons in their outermost shell). They do not have the same number of shells however.
What is the number of proton and electrons in chlorine?
The number of protons and electrons in chlorine is 17
What could be the proton number of an element that has three unpaired electrons in each of its atoms?
the proton number is 15
Is an atoms number of protons is always the same as its number of valence electrons?
For neutral atoms, the electron number is always the same as the proton number.For ions, charged atoms, the proton number is different than the electron number by the charge (e.g. a hydrogen ion, H(+1) has 1 proton and 0 electrons, 1 more proton than electrons).
What are the relationship between protons and neutrons in a atom?
The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It also corresponds to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. A neutral atom, you'll recall, is one where the number of electrons equals the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. We remember that atoms often "loan out" or "borrow" electrons, so the electron count will not always equal the proton count.
How many electrons are attracted by a proton?
There is no specific number of electrons that a proton can attract. For example, in a neutral atom; a proton attracts nearly one electron and there is a higher attraction in anions and lesser number in cations.
What no. ef proton and electron in an atom?
Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons
What are the number of protrons and electrons for magnesium ion?
the number of proton=the number of electron= 12
How many electrons in a carbon atom?
there is the same number of electrons ans protons. and the proton number is 6. so you have 6 electrons.
What number is also the same as proton number and the number of electrons of a neutral atom?
Atomic Number
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.
