Negatively charged particles of an atom?

Negatively charged particles of an atom are electrons. Electrons orbit around the nucleus of an atom in various energy levels or shells. They carry a negative charge equal in magnitude to that of a proton but opposite in sign.


What two particles in an atom always have the same number?

Protons and electrons in an atom always have the same number, which determines the atom's overall charge. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of the element, while the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.


What two particles in an atom are equal in numbers?

The number of protons and electrons in an atom are equal in numbers. Protons have a positive charge and are found in the nucleus, while electrons have a negative charge and orbit the nucleus.


What will happen to an atom is an alpha particles emits or adds?

Alpha particles are emitted from the atom taking with it 2 protons and (I am pretty sure) two neutrons. This will change the atomic number of the atom and the atomic weight.


How many of each of the elementary particles are contained in the helium atom?

A helium atom consists of 2 protons, 2 electrons and 2 neutrons.


The nucleus of a helium atom contains four subatomic particles how many neutrons does the helium atom have?

Helium has two neutrons and two protons in its nucleus.


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 two subatomic particles must be the same to a maintain a neutral atom?

The question is a bit fuzzy, but I'll interpret it to mean what two particles need to be present in the same numbers to maintain a neutral atom. The answer is protons (with a positive charge) and electrons (with a negative charge). The charges for each are equal and opposite, so when they are balanced in equal numbers, the atom is electrically neutral.
