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.
Yes, two elements can have the same type of atom if they have the same number of protons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, but the same number of protons.
Protons and Electrons. Protons are positively)+) charged and electrons (-) are negatively charged. For an atom to be neutrally charged the number of protons MUST equal the number of electrons. The number of positives must equal the number of negatives. When these number are NOT equal ; loss/gain of electrons, then the atom is named an ION.
the you and the stupid! oh wait that is the same thing!
Only for hydrogen and helium are these two numbers the same. All other elements have at least two non-valence electrons, and the total number of electrons must be equal to the number of protons. Therefore, in all elements except hydrogen and helium, the number of valence electrons is less than the number of protons.
Protons and electrons match the atomic number on the periodic table. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom, which also determines its chemical identity. Electrons balance the positive charge of protons in an atom, making it electrically neutral.

Proton and neutron.
Protons and neutrons are the two particles that are in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons orbit around the 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.
Yes, two elements can have the same type of atom if they have the same number of protons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, but the same number of protons.
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.
No two subatomic particles have the exact same mass. The proton and the neutron, however, come close. Neutrons are heavier than protons by only 2.3 X 10-30 kg.
protons and electrons
There are THREE Particles in an atom. They are;_ protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are collectively called nucleons , and are found in the nucleus of an atom . The Electrons are in energy shells outside the nucleus. The whole forms an ATOM. The protons have positive charge (+) The neutrons have zero charge(0) The electrons have negative charge (-)
