All atoms are built with a number of positive (protons) in their nuclei and a number of negative (electrons) in shells surrounding the nucleus. The number of protons and electrons are always equal meaning that the atom is electrically neutral ( the + and - charges balance out). The atoms of different elements all have a different number of positive (and therefore a balancing number of negative) components.

∙ 8y agoThis is because all atoms in their stable forms have an equal number of protons and electrons so there is a net charge of 0. However, when ionic bonds are formed, atoms lose and/or gain electrons making them positive or negative. Positively charged molecules are known as cations while negatively charged molecules are known as anions.

How many p electrons are in the outer shell of all neutral atoms in group 14 of the periodic table?
2
Where do radioactive atoms start on the periodic table?
After lead, all elements on the periodic table have only radioactive isotopes.
What can you find in nature that relates to the periodic table?
Everything. The periodic table relates all of the smallest particles of nature into a table showing all of these smallest particles (atoms).
What do all atoms of the same elemnt have?
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei. The number of protons is the atomic number for that element on the periodic table. The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number on the periodic table.
All elements on the periodic table are neutral because they have the ame number of electrons as what other particle?
protons
What are some exmple on the periodic table that are neutral atoms?
All the atoms are neutral. Only ions have an electrical charge.

What are atoms and elements on the periodic table?
The periodic table contain all chemical elements. For the table see the link below.
Where do radioactive atoms start on the periodic table?
After lead, all elements on the periodic table have only radioactive isotopes.
What can you find in nature that relates to the periodic table?
Everything. The periodic table relates all of the smallest particles of nature into a table showing all of these smallest particles (atoms).
What is the Significance of the periodic table of elements?
Periodic table is a tool to study elements. Their properties can be studied easily.
Is there any Atom not on the periodic table?
This question does not make sence. The periodic table is a chart of all of the elements know to man. All of these elements are composed of atoms (as is all matter).
The periodic table is based on an element's what?
The periodic table is based on an element's number of atoms. The elements are arranged from least to most number of atoms.
Do all elements of the periodic table have the same type of atoms?
No. Atoms differ in number of protons, neutrons and electrons.
Do all atoms on the periodic table wish they were gold?
No. The elements does not have minds like humans.
What do all atoms of the same elemnt have?
All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei. The number of protons is the atomic number for that element on the periodic table. The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number on the periodic table.
Which atoms will always be radioactive?
Almost all the lower elements in the periodic table will always be radioactive.
