What elements is it made of?
Atoms of elements are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The number of protons is always the same for every atom of a given element. Thus, the number of electrons is also constant for a pure element (which is electrically neutral). However, the number of neutrons can vary; this variation leads to what are known as isotopes.
Why does a potassium ion have a positive charge?
Usually Potassium has a single positive charge, but if you put it in a vacume tube and hit it with electron beams of high voltage you can make it do what ever you want it to do.
What element has1s22s2 orbitals?
Each and every element after Lithium has these orbitals.
What is the 3 particles of an element?
every atom is made up of 3 particles and these are: 1) Electron- negatively charged 2) Proton-positively charged 3)Neutron_electrically neutral
Does every atom of an element show properties of its element?
Yes, that is a characteristic of an atom.

Is the number of protons and electrons equal in every element?
In a neutral atom the answer is yes. Sometimes atoms can be in charged states as a result of undergoing chemistry (oxidation or reduction) and in this case they can have more electrons than usual (and so they are negatively charged) or fewer (and so they are positively charged). These processes can be reversed so that the atoms are back to their neutral ground state. The number of protons is unique to the element. So a carbon with a missing proton isn't "carbon", it is a boron with an extra electron. Yes, the number of protons and electrons are equal in the atoms of every element. This is essential to maintain electric neutrality of the atoms. However, this rule doesn't apply to ions. Also, the number of protons or electrons is called the atomic number and is useful to place the elements in the periodic table.
How many electrons can balance with the 1 proton?
One electron balances the charge on one proton. Their charges are equal and opposite.
Why is the atom called electrically neutral?
its is neutral cuz every atom has negative electrons surrounding the nucleus which has a positive protons, each atom have the same number of protons and electrons so the cancel out each other, it becomes neutral, but there are things called positive ions and negative ions, they are atoms that looses or gains electron without the change of the protons
Neutral atom of a certain element has 15 electrons?
What is element 15? If it's the element on the periodic table with the atomic number 15, it would be Phosphorus which does have electrons, 15 of them. All elements on the periodic table have electrons.
Why does a wire that carries an electric current not become electrically charged?
To become electrically charged, a conductor must either have an excess of electrons (negatively charged) or a deficiency of electrons (positively charged). For every free electron moving around in a current-carrying conductor, there is a corresponding proton within the fixed atoms, so the conductor is neither negatively- nor positively-charged, but neutral.
What does the nucleus of every element contain?
Every nucleus of every element contains at least 1 proton. Every element except hydrogen also contains neutrons.
What is the electric charge of the nucleus of every atom?
neutral
What Atomic Number represents?
The atomic number equals the number of protons in an atom, as well as the number of electrons in a stable, electrically neutral atom, it represents the identity of an element ,the simplest form of matter.
Is the null set an element of every set?
No, but it is a subset of every set.It is an element of the power set of every set.
Is the empty set an element of every set?
No. An empty set is a subset of every set but it is not an element of every set.
Does aufbau principle works with every element?
Every element besides chromium and copper.
