What is important about the number of electrons in the outside surface of an atom?
It keeps the atom at a constant charge. Too little electrons means the atom is positively charged, while too many means the atom is negatively charged.
How many charged particles are in a Polonium atom?
The neutral atom of polonium has 84 protons and electrons.
One helium atom has how many electrons?
It depends on the charge of the atom/ion however in a no-charged state Helium will have 2 electrons. If the Helium is charged negatively will have more. If it is charged possitively (up to 2+) it will have less. As Helium is a noble gas, it is rarely found in a charged state!
Is a atom that loses electrons have a negative charge?
if it can lose an electron it will have a positive charge. to begin with in a neutral state it has no charge it has an equal amount of protons (positively charged) in the nucleus as it has electrons (negatively charged particles) around the nucleus. Hence in loosing an electron the balance shifts to a positive over all charge. not all elements can become ions like this.
How many electrons on chromium?
24, considering that an electron has a negative charge and the number of protons (positivley charged) is 24, an atom has to be neutrally charged

How many atoms are in atoms?
One! An atom is not made up of other atoms, but has a nucleus of a positively-charged proton and a neutrally-charged neutron. It is surrounded by a network of positively-charged particles called electrons. (sorry, NEGATIVELY charged particles called electrons!)
If an atom has 49 protons how many electrons does it have?
A neutral atom with 49 electrons will have 49 protons. The number of protons and electrons are always the same in a neutral atom. If the number of protons is not matched by the number of electrons, then the atom is charged and is called an ion. Further, if protons outnumber electrons, the atom is positively charged and is a positive ion. For situations where electrons outnumber protons, the opposite is true. The element with 49 protons in it is indium, by the way.

How many electrons do an atom with an atomic number of 3?
if it is a netrual atom it will have 3 but if it is charged it will change
If an atom is neutrally charged and has 10 protons then how many electrons does it have?
10
If an atomic number is 11 how many electrons dose the atom have?
if it is not charged - 11.
How many electrons does each neutral chromium atom have?
24 electrons, remember the atomic number of an element tells you how many protons it has. The number of protons = the number of electrons (if the atom isnt charged)
