What must a neutral atom with four contain?
4 electrons
If an atom has six protons and four neutrons. what is its charge?
The atom that has a Atomic Number of 6 in the periodic table - Carbon
How many electrons does a neutral atom with four protons contan?
Berylium with an electron structure of 1s22s2 has 4 electrons.
What does the atomic of an element measure?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. In an electrostatically neutral atom, ie not an ion, it is also the number of electrons. Every single atom of an element will have the same number of protons, eg. Carbon always has six protons. This also helps us to understand the layout of the electron in an atom. Carbon has six so it arranges them into an inner group of two and an outer group of four, meaning it can have up to four bonds. Hope this helps.
How many protons does a certain atom have an atomic number of four have?
Four.

How many electrons would you expect to find in a neutral atom containing three protons and four neutrons?
3
Do neutral lithium atoms contain more neutrons than protons?
The atomic number of Li is 3. So it must have three protons within its nucleus. Now the number of neutrons could be the same, three, in the isotope lithium-6 (present 7.5% in nature) or more often four (present 92.5% in nature), in the isotope lithium-7. But the term neutral used by you may enquire about the number of electrons???? ----------------------------------------------------------- Neutral lithuium atoms don't necessarily have to contain more neutrons than protons. They can, but the number of neutrons does not affect an atom's charge. A neutral lithium atom must contain the same number of protons and electrons, but the number of neutrons can be more, the same, or less than the number of protons.
How many electrons does a neutral atom with four protons contan?
Berylium with an electron structure of 1s22s2 has 4 electrons.
How many protons are in Be?
There are four protons in the nucleus of a beryllium atom.
Nitrogen atoms have 7 protons how many electrons are in an ion with a charge of plus 5?
A nitrogen atom has 7 protons and 7 electrons as it is electrically neutral. (An atom always has same number of protons and electrons)
