Is an atom that has the same number of protons as neutrons a neutral atom?
False. The atom that has the same number of protons as it has electrons is a neutral atom.
Is an atom neutral if it has a greater number of electrons than protons?
False. An atom is neutral if it has an equal number of protons and neutrons
What number is used to determine how many electrons are in a neutral atom?
The atomic number (the number of protons in the atom). Neutral charge = 0 = (number of protons - number of neutrons). Therefore, number of protons = number of neutrons
Will an atom with 27 protons 32 neutrons and 27 electrons be electrically neutral?
Neutrons have no charge. When the number of protons of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in it, the atom is neutral, in other words, it has no charge.
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.
How do you find the number of electrons in an atom if you know the number of protons and neutrons?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons of the nucleus.
What is the relationship between the number of protons and the number of electrons in an atom?
For a neutral atom, the relationship between the number of protons and the number of neutrons is the same.
What number of protons and neutrons must be contained in the nucleus to result in a neutral atom?
It does not matter how meant protons and neutrons are in the atom for it to be a balanced structure as long as the number is equal.
How many protons electrons and neutrons does an atom with an atomic number of 50 and mass number of 125?
If its a neutral atom, there will be the same number of protons as electrons. The atomic number will tell you how many protons there are, so there are 50 protons and 50 electrons.The mass number is the sum of the number of protons (or electrons in a neutral atom) and the number of neutrons. Since we know there are 50 protons, we subtract 125 with 50 to get 75 neutrons.
An equal number of protons and neutrons typically results in an atom that is?
Often, but not always, atoms with an equal number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus are stable and not radioactive.
What atom has as many protons as it does electrons?
all neutral atoms have same number of protons and neutrons
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.
