A neutral (uncharged) atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Isotopes of an element may have several stable isotopes with various numbers of neutrons.

What two particles in an atom always have the same number?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
What are helium atom nucleus?
The nucleus of a helium atom is composed of two protons and two neutrons. Alpha particles have the same composition as the nucleus of a helium atom.
Which two subatomic particles are present in equal numbers in an atom?
In each neutral atom of any given element, the numbers of electrons and protons are equal, as the charges in the atom must balance. Only the neutron number may vary amongst atoms of the same element.
What two subatomic particles are in the nucleus of the atom?
Proton and neutron.
Oxidation number is the same as?
The oxidation number is the same as the charge that the atom has. If the atom usually loses an electron, then it is losing a negative charge and having more positive making it a + 1. If the atom loses two electrons, then the oxidation number would be +2. The same thing with gaining electrons, then there would be more negative charges then positive. If the atom gains one electron, then the oxidation number would be - 1. If the atom gains two electrons, then the oxidation number would be - 2. I hope that this was helpful.
What are the same number of these two particles in an atom?
Protons and electrons.
What two particles in an atom always have the same number?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
Which two particles in an atom are equal of in number?
protons and electrons.
Which two particles in a atom are equal in number?
Electrons and protons.
What two particles in an atom have approximatley the same mass?
Proton and neutron.
What two atomic particles are in the nucleus of an atom?
Protons and neutrons are the two particles that are in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons orbit around the atom
What are helium atom nucleus?
The nucleus of a helium atom is composed of two protons and two neutrons. Alpha particles have the same composition as the nucleus of a helium atom.
Which two subatomic particles are present in equal number in every atom of the same?
In each neutral atom of any given element, the numbers of electrons and protons are equal, as the charges in the atom must balance. Only the neutron number may vary amongst atoms of the same element.
What are two particles in an atom?
There're two particles in the atom nucleus (protons and neutrons)
What will happen to an atom is an alpha particles emits or adds?
Alpha particles are emitted from the atom taking with it 2 protons and (I am pretty sure) two neutrons. This will change the atomic number of the atom and the atomic weight.
Which two particles are located in the nucleus of a carbon atom?
There are more than two particles in a carbon atom. There are two TYPES of particles, which are protons and neutrons. There are six protons, and 16 known amounts of neutrons Check here for info on the number of neutrons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_carbon
The atomic number is the same as the number of what two particles?
protons and electrons
