Protons are much heavier (1800 X approx) than electrons! Atomic mass is due to the mass of the protons and neutrons only a very small % of Atomic Mass is due to electrons.

Nobelium has an atomic number of 102 how many protons and electrons does it have?

Nobelium has 102 protons and 102 electrons, as the number of protons is equal to the atomic number, and in a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.


What is the relationship between the atomic number and the electrons in neutral atom?

In a neutral atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. And by definition the atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in it. So the atomic number of a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons or the number of electrons in the atom.


Does the number of electrons in an atom give its atomic number?

The number of protons is equal to atomic number; in a neutral atom the number of electrons is also equal to the numbers of protons.

Do protons and electrons have the same number?

Yes, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons. The number of protons is also equal to the number of electrons


Where did you found in an element number of protons and electrons?

The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons, for a neutral atom.


How would you figure the number of protons or electrons in an atom?

The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to that of protons. If the atom is negatively charged, add it to the number of electrons; and if positive, subtract.


If an atom contains 15 electrons it will also have 15?

Protons, because electrons are equal to the atomic number and protons are equal to the number of electrons.
