What number of particles in an atom usually equals the number of protons?
Unless it is an ion, the number of electrons will equal the number of protons.
In the normal atom do the electrical charges of the proton balance the electrical charges of the neutron?
Not exactly. Though it IS true that in a normal atom, the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of neutrons, to make the atom electrically neutral (non-ionic), the number of protons (positively charged particles) must equal the number of electrons (negatively charged particles) that surround the nucleus.
What is the relationship between the atomic number and the electrons in neutral atom?
In a neutral atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. And by definition the atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in it. So the atomic number of a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons or the number of electrons in the atom.
What does the number of protons in a atom equal?
Atoms that are neutral must have equal numbers of protons and electrons. This is because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. Thus, for the charge to be neutral, the numbers of these particles must be equal.
What is an atom is electrically neutral though it contains charged particles?
Because the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge).
Which to particles in an atom are equal in number?
The protons and electrons are equal in number in a neutral atom
What two particles in an atom always have the same number?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
Which two particles in an atom are equal of in number?
protons and electrons.
Which two particles in a atom are equal in number?
Electrons and protons.
How do atomic numbers relate to the number of particles in an atom's nucleus?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
What are the particles that make a atom including the atomic number and mass number?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom (which equal the number of electrons present) The atomic mass is the number of protons+neutrons in an atom
What number of particles in an atom usually equals the number of protons?
Unless it is an ion, the number of electrons will equal the number of protons.
Why is an atom electrically neutral inspite of the presence of charged particles it it?
Because an electrically neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons.
What does the atomic number of an element say about the number of particles in atoms of that element?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and neutrons in a neutral atom.
In the normal atom do the electrical charges of the proton balance the electrical charges of the neutron?
Not exactly. Though it IS true that in a normal atom, the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of neutrons, to make the atom electrically neutral (non-ionic), the number of protons (positively charged particles) must equal the number of electrons (negatively charged particles) that surround the nucleus.
What makes an atom neutral?
An atom is neutral if the numbers of protons and electrons are equal it's neutral.
What are chemical substances that break apart into electronically charged particles?
Ions. An ion is an atom in which the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons.
