In any atom, the number of protons will equal the number of electrons, but only in a neutral atom. Remember that most atoms loan, borrow or share electrons, so the number of protons will not be equal to the number of electrons in all cases. In review, only in a neutral atom will the number of protons equal the number of electrons.

and is also the number of electrons.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoThe atomic number is the number of protons and the number of electrons.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoIt is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom that determines its atomic number. The proton count sets the atomic number and gives each atom its chemical identity.

The number of neutrons in an atom can be found by subtracting the atomic number from the?
Atomic weight in atomic mass units = the number of protons + the number of neutrons. The number of protons is your atomic number. Subtract that from the atomic weight for the number of neutrons.
What two sub atomic particles are found in the nucleus?
Protons and neutrons; these particles contain quarks and gluons.
What are three facts about elements?
Elements are the building blocks of matter. All atoms of the same element have the same atomic number. The mass number of atoms of the same element can vary.
What atomic particles occupy the nucleus of an atom?
It is made of positively charged particles called protons (p+) and particles that have no charge, called neutrons (n0)
How do isotopes of a given element differ How are they similar?
Isotopes have same number of electrons, same atomic no. but different mass no. They are from the same element like isotopes of carbon. They are not having same number of neutrons. They show same electronic configuration.
The atomic number is the same number as the number of these particles?
protons
The atomic number is the same as the numberof these particles?
The number of electrons
What 2 subatomic particles can you determine from the atomic number?
Atomic number is same as the number of protons and number of electrons.
The atomic number is the same as the number of what two particles?
protons and electrons
The atomic number is the same as the same as the number of these particles what are they?
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. The protons are positive particles, and so the number of them is matched by the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus. The organisation of the electrons determines how an element behaves when it reacts.
Name the subatomic particles that the number of this particle is always the same as the atomic number?
The proton
Do carbon and oxygen have the same atomic mass?
They don't contain the same number of particles because some particles are more dense than others making one atom and another atom the same mass but not have the same number of particles.
The atomic number is the same as the number of these two particles?
The "Atomic number" of an element corresponds to the number of only the protons in the nucleus of its atoms. Add to that the number of neutrons that are also in there, and you have the "Atomic weight".
What does subatomic particles contribute to the value of atomic mass and atomic number?
protons is the same number as the atomic number always and protons plus the average number of neutrons makes up the atomic mass
What aspect of an atom's subatomic particles defines which element it is?
The number of protons determines the element, and is the same as its atomic number.
What is the subatomic particles on which the atomic number is based?
Number of protons in the nucleus is the atomic number.
The atomic number of an element equals the number of what atomic particles?
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons (in the neutral state)
