yes,,,because the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. No, when electons are lost or gained by an atom (number of protons stays the same) the atoms become 'ions,' which are positively or negatively charged respectively.
#of electrons and # of protons is EQUAL in a neutral atom
The number of protons in the atom's nucleus and the total number of electrons in the electron shells of that atom.
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.
Indium always has 49 protons and usually has 49 electrons, but the number of electrons can change in indium ions.
A neutral atom has equal numbers of elecrons and protons.
No - in fact it is quite rare
protons and electrons will always be = number
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons.
No
#of electrons and # of protons is EQUAL in a neutral atom
The number of protons in the atom's nucleus and the total number of electrons in the electron shells of that atom.
Electrons have negative charge and protons have positive charge. These charges always have equal magnitude but opposite signs in an atom, maintaining electrical neutrality.
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.
No, the number of valence electrons is not always equal to the number of protons. The number of valence electrons is determined by the group number of an element on the periodic table, while the number of protons is the atomic number of the element.
Atoms contain equal numbers of protons and electrons until they are ionized into a charged species or "ion."
Protons, neutrons, and electrons are subunits present in equal numbers in an atom. The number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons, while the number of neutrons can vary in different isotopes of an element.
