Protons(p+) and electrons(e-)
each charge cancels the opposite one.
False. The atom that has the same number of protons as it has electrons is a neutral atom.
For an atom to be neutral, it must have the same number of protons and electrons. This is because protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge, and having equal numbers of each cancels out their charges, resulting in a neutral atom.
An atom must have the same number of electrons and protons to have a neutral charge.
To have a neutral atom, the atom must have the same amount of protons, neutrons, and electrons inside of it.
Yes it does. A neutral atom must ave same number of electron as protons to balance the charges.
22: The atomic number is defined as the number of protons in the atom, but since the atom is neutral, the number of protons must be the same as the number of electrons.
protons
In an neutral atom, the number of protons and the electrons are the same
I think that for an atom to have a neutral charge, it must have the same amount of protons and neutrons. Otherwise its a ion. Check it up on Google just to be sure. Hope I could help :)
protons, because the protons are positive and the electrons are negative so to have a neutral atom the protons and electrons must be balanced
The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.
NO. The number of electrons in any neutral atom must be the same as the number of protons. The number of protons is the atomic number, if the atomic number is the same then the atoms are of the same element, not different ones.
