The amount of electrons is balanced by the same amount of protons in a neutral atom, such as for the neutral hydrogen atom; it has 1 proton and 1 electron.

What is the number of electrons in a neutral atom of an element on an periodic table?

There is none, but a neutral atom is called a neutron. There is no neutral element.


If element X has 72 protons how many electrons does it have electrons?

Element X with 72 protons will have 72 electrons in a neutral state. The number of protons in an element is equal to the number of electrons in that element's neutral atom.


What is equal to the number of protons?

An element's' atomic number, and in a neutral atom the number of its electrons.


Where did you found in an element number of protons and electrons?

The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons, for a neutral atom.


If you know the number of electrons in a neutral atom can you determine what the element is?

Yes, in a neutral atom the number of electrons and protons is equal, and it is the number of protons that determines what element the atom is. So, by looking at the number of electrons you can tell what element it is.


What is equal to the number of protons which is equal to the number of electrons?

Do you mean what does the number of protons equal? This is the atomic number of the element. All isotopes of an element will have the same number of protons, only the number of neutrons varies.


How do you find the number of protons or electrons in a neutral atom of an element?

The number of protons in an atom is equal to the atomic number of the element, which can be found on the periodic table. Since atoms are electrically neutral, the number of electrons in a neutral atom is also equal to the number of protons.


In an electrically neutral atom of any element there are equal of?

The number of protons and electrons is equal.


How is the number of electrons in a neutral atom related to the atomic number of the element?

They're equal.


What is the number of electrons in a neutral atom of an element always equal 2?

2. Cause the only element that can "always equal 2" is Helium. And helium has 2 electrons. Number of protons=number of electrons.


An element has an atomic number of 30 how many protons and electrons are in a neutral atom of the element?

It will have 30 protons and 30 electrons if the atom is neutral.


What is equal to the number of protons and electrons?

The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons, which also equals the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
