It will have 30 protons and 30 electrons if the atom is neutral.
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in an atom, which also corresponds to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. This means that the atomic number gives you the total number of electrons in a neutral atom of that element.
The number of protons in an atom is equal to the atomic number of the element, which can be found on the periodic table. Since atoms are electrically neutral, the number of electrons in a neutral atom is also equal to the number of protons.
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in each atom of the element, whether neutral or not. If the atom is neutral, the number of electrons in the atom is the same as the number of protons.
You can only be sure of the number of electrons if the element is electrically neutral. If an element is electrically neutral, then the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons which is the atomic number of the element. For instance an electrically neutral atom of carbon, there are 6 electrons because there are 6 protons in a carbon atom.
A neutral atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons. The atomic numbers on the periodic table for each element are the number of protons. So, look up the element on the periodic table, note its atomic number, and you will then know the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom of that element. For example, magnesium (Mg) has atomic number 12. So a neutral Mg atom would have 12 protons and 12 electrons.
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in an atom, which also corresponds to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. This means that the atomic number gives you the total number of electrons in a neutral atom of that element.
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons, for a neutral atom.
A neutral atom of an element will have the same number of electrons as protons (atomic number). For example, the element magnesium has the atomic number 12, which means that a neutral magnesium atom will have 12 protons and 12 electrons.
The number of protons in an atom is equal to the atomic number of the element, which can be found on the periodic table. Since atoms are electrically neutral, the number of electrons in a neutral atom is also equal to the number of protons.
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in each atom of the element, whether neutral or not. If the atom is neutral, the number of electrons in the atom is the same as the number of protons.
An element's' atomic number, and in a neutral atom the number of its electrons.
You can only be sure of the number of electrons if the element is electrically neutral. If an element is electrically neutral, then the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons which is the atomic number of the element. For instance an electrically neutral atom of carbon, there are 6 electrons because there are 6 protons in a carbon atom.
A neutral atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons. The atomic numbers on the periodic table for each element are the number of protons. So, look up the element on the periodic table, note its atomic number, and you will then know the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom of that element. For example, magnesium (Mg) has atomic number 12. So a neutral Mg atom would have 12 protons and 12 electrons.
The number of protons and electrons of the atom in a neutral state.
The number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom are the same and given by the element's atomic number.
Atomic number 76 is Osmium, the densest element. Its atomic mass is 190. Atomic number tells you the number of protons, so 76 protons. Atomic mass tells you the sum of protons and neutrons, so there are 190-76 = 114 neutrons.
The atomic number of a chemical element is equivalent to the number of protons and electrons, in the neutral state.
