What number on the period table is the number of protons always equal to?

The number of protons is equally to the usually big number in the element's box. This number will not be a part of a number, it will be a whole number. Hydrogen starts at 1 and then Helium at 2 and so on. Each element is identified by how many protons there are, so the number of protons will change when it is a different element. So the number in the boxes increasing by one each time is the number of protons to directly answer your question.

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.
Does the number of protons always equal the number of electrons?
In the atom state (not ionic), yes.
What atomic number always equal to the total number of?
Electrons or Protons. As they are effectively equal in no in a neutral atom.
What Does the number of protons always equal to?
No An atom may have less, the same, or more neutrons than protons. The number of neutrons determine which isotope of an element you have. You do expect the number of protons and electrons to be the same however. If an atom loses or gains an electron to cause the number of electrons and protons to be mismatched we call that an ion rather than an atom.
Equal to the number of protons in an atom found on the periodic table?
The atomic number or the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
In an atom the number of protons is always equal to the number of what?
No - in fact it is quite rare
In an atom the number of protons is always equal to the number of?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons.
What is the atomic number always equal to?
The number of protons in the nucleus of each atom that has the atomic number.
Does the number of neutrons always equal the number of protons?
No
What subatomic particle is always equal in neutral atoms?
protons and electrons will always be = number
What is the number of protons always equivalent to?
For a chemical element the number of protons is equal to the atomic number.
What does the atomic number always equal inside an atom?
Atomic number is always equal to the number of protons in an atom.
Does the number of protons always equal the number of electrons in a atom?
No
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.
Does the number of protons always equal the number of electrons?
In the atom state (not ionic), yes.
The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atoms must always what?
#of electrons and # of protons is EQUAL in a neutral atom
Are protons and electrons always equal?
yes,,,because the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. No, when electons are lost or gained by an atom (number of protons stays the same) the atoms become 'ions,' which are positively or negatively charged respectively.
