What else can I help you with?
When atoms are at rest what do they have an equal number of?
protons and electrons protons and electrons
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 the charge of an object that has an equal number of protons and the electrons?
Assuming you mean the charge of an atom with equal numbers of protons and electrons, the charge of the atom would be zero/neutral.
An atom with an equal number of electrons and protons has no?
An atom with an equal number of electrons and protons has no net electrical charge, as the number of positive (proton) and negative (electron) charges are balanced.
What is the charge of a hypothetical ion of 75 protons and 79 electrons?
The charge of an ion is equal to the number of protons minus the number of electrons. In this case, there are 75 protons and 79 electrons. Therefore, the charge of the ion would be -4, indicating that it has a net negative charge.
In an atom with a neutral overall charge the number of protons is equal to the .?
Number of electrons.
Why does an atom have a neutral charge?
An atom has a neutral charge because the number of protons in the nucleus, which are positively charged, is equal to the number of electrons orbiting around the nucleus, which are negatively charged. The positive and negative charges cancel each other out, resulting in a neutral overall charge for the atom.
What is true about a atom that has a neutral charge?
An atom with a neutral charge has an equal number of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). This balance of positive and negative charges results in the overall charge of the atom being zero.
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.
Why do atoms have no electric charge?
It has an equal number of protons and electrons.
What do you get if the number of protons and electrons are not equal?
An ion, which would have a positive charge if there are more protons, and a negative charge id there are more electrons.
How do the number of protons compare to the number of electrons in an atom with a neutral charge?
The numbers of protons and the numbers of electrons balance; they are equal.
