Electrons are subatomic particles that orbit around the nucleus of an atom. They carry a negative charge and are responsible for chemical reactions and the formation of chemical bonds. The number of electrons in an atom can be determined by its atomic number, which represents the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
an atom is electrically neutral if the protons and electrons are the same number. ex: if you have 16 protons and 16 electrons its is neutral
The number of electrons does not equal the number of protons.
what term describes elements that contain the same number of valence electrons
Yes. 1 mole of all elements (including carbon) or compounds contain Avogadro number of particles (6.023 x 1023 particles)
An atom contain protons, neutrons and electrons. The number of these particles is different for each isotope.
An atom contain protons, neutrons and electrons; protons and neutrons contain quarks and gluons. The number of all these particles is specific for each isotope.
The atom of a chemical element contain protons, neutrons and electrons; the number is specific for each isotope.
As all atoms Mercury contain protons, neutrons and electrons. Mercury has 80 electrons and protons and a variable number of neutrons - depending on the isotope.

Perhaps, neutral particles arise when there are the same number of protons and electrons.
No, they contain different number of electrons. Isotopes differ in their number of neutrons.
