What else can I help you with?
The number of these is equal to the number of electrons in an atom?
A neutral atom has equal numbers of elecrons and protons.
In a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of what?
The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.
What two particles in an atom always have the same number?
Protons and electrons in an atom always have the same number, which determines the atom's overall charge. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of the element, while the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.
Atomic number equals the number of?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus and in a neutral atom will also equal the number of electrons.
In a neutral atom what is the relationship between the number of protons and electrons?
They are equal.
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.
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.
The number of these is equal to the number of electrons in an atom?
A neutral atom has equal numbers of elecrons and protons.
How many electrons versus protons in an atom?
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
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.
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.
What is equal to the number of protons which is equal to the number of electrons?
Do you mean what does the number of protons equal? This is the atomic number of the element. All isotopes of an element will have the same number of protons, only the number of neutrons varies.
How many electrons and protons are there in potassium?
A potassium atom has 19 protons and 19 electrons. This is because the number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which for potassium is 19. Electrons in a neutral atom are equal to the number of protons.
In a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of what?
The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.
What two particles in an atom always have the same number?
Protons and electrons in an atom always have the same number, which determines the atom's overall charge. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of the element, while the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.
In an atom the number of protons is always equal to the number of what?
No - in fact it is quite rare
How do the number of protons and electrons compare in a normal atom?
In a normal atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. This balance is necessary for the atom to be electrically neutral.
