∙ 9y agoThe number of protons in an atom determines what type of atom it is. Therefore, the number of protons is equal to the atomic number.

∙ 8y agoNo it is not. It equals for total of neutrons and protons.

Atomic number is equal to?
no of the protons or the no of electron is equal to the atomic no denoted by the symbol Z
Which's the statement about atoms?
the number of neutrons and protons are equal
Atomic number equals the number of?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus and in a neutral atom will also equal the number of electrons.
The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atoms must always what?
#of electrons and # of protons is EQUAL in a neutral atom
When is an atom uncharged or neutral?
A neutral atom has no electrical charge on it. So the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding it. In their normal, elemental state, all atoms are neutral. If it's in an ionised solution, say, then it's not neutral. I think there's something more to your question, though. Why are you asking - is there a situation or a kind of atom that you are thinking of?
When atoms are at rest what do they have an equal number of?
protons and electrons protons and electrons
Is the number of electrons equal to the number of protons in the atoms?
Yes :-)
What is the atomic number also equal to?
The atomic number is equal to the protons and electrons of an element.
Atomic number is equal to?
no of the protons or the no of electron is equal to the atomic no denoted by the symbol Z
What is number of protons of an atom is the atoms atomic number?
The number of protons in the atomic nucleus is equal to atomic number.
Is the atomic number the number of atoms it has?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
Which's the statement about atoms?
the number of neutrons and protons are equal
When do atoms have no electric charge equal number of protons and what?
nuetron
Why do atoms have no electric charge?
It has an equal number of protons and electrons.
Atoms have a mass number equal to the sum of?
the protons and neutrons.
Do hydrogen and atoms have an equal number of electrons?
No. Neutral atoms of each element, including hydrogen, have a unique number of electrons, which is equal to the number of protons in their nuclei. The number of protons is the element's atomic number on the periodic table.
An equal number of protons and neutrons typically results in an atom that is?
Often, but not always, atoms with an equal number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus are stable and not radioactive.
