In any neutral atom, the number of protons = the number of electrons.
Yes. When an atom has the same number of protons and electrons, it is neutral. The number of protons in an atom can never change without the element changing as well (and that is nuclear chemistry). The number of electrons can change, and when an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes an ion. But an atom is always neutral due to the fact that the number of protons in an atom is equivalent to the number of electrons in that atom.
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
a neutral atom will have equal amounts of protons and electrons. This number can change as the atom is oxidized or reduced in chemical reactions
All neutral atoms have the same number of protons and electrons as they are electrically neutral.
Generally an atom contains similar number of electrons and protons. That is why an atom is neutral.

Indium always has 49 protons and usually has 49 electrons, but the number of electrons can change in indium ions.
An atom is neutral if the numbers of protons and electrons are equal it's neutral.
In a neutral atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The opposite charge between protons and electrons is what allows for a neutral atom.

The numbers of protons and of electrons in a neutral object are the same.
#of electrons and # of protons is EQUAL in a neutral atom
An atom is neutral if the number of protons and the number of electrons it has are the same.
