Does the number of neutrons always equal the number of protons?
No
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.
Why must the number of protons and neutrons be equal?
The number of protons and neutrons is not equal. The equality is not a rule.
What subatomic particle is always equal in neutral atoms?
protons and electrons will always be = number
Do neutrons always equal the number of elecrons?
Electrons are equal to the number of protons and the atomic number. To find the number of neutrons you must subtract the atomic number from the mass number.
What subunits are present in equal numbers in an atom?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons are subunits present in equal numbers in an atom. The number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons, while the number of neutrons can vary in different isotopes of an element.
Do electrons equal the sum of the number of neutrons and protons in an isotope?
No. The number of neutrons has no affect on the number of protons and electrons.
Does the number of protons in an atom of an element always equal its atomic weight?
atomic weight = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
What is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons?
If you add the number of protons to the number of neutrons in an atom, you have calculated that atom's atomic mass.
What Does the number of protons always equal to?
No An atom may have less, the same, or more neutrons than protons. The number of neutrons determine which isotope of an element you have. You do expect the number of protons and electrons to be the same however. If an atom loses or gains an electron to cause the number of electrons and protons to be mismatched we call that an ion rather than an atom.
Is the atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons or neutrons in the nucleus?
Protons
What do you add to protons to equal mass number?
The mass number = protons + neutrons
