The atomic number is defined as the number of protons in an atom. The number of electrons will always be the same if the atom is neutral- if the atom is not neutral we usually call it an ion. The number of neutrons can vary, and make what are called isotopes.
For example, carbon has atomic number 6, meaning every carbon atom has 6 protons. Every neutral carbon atom has 6 electrons. Carbon can have several isotopes, the most common of which is carbon-12 and carbon-14. Carbon 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, and carbon 14 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Answer: atomic no. of an element= no. of protons = no. of electrons while no. of neutrons = mass no. - no. of protons
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.
no of the protons or the no of electron is equal to the atomic no denoted by the symbol Z
The number of protons is identical to the number of electrons when an atom is in a neutral state.
Atomic number describes about number of protons.It is equals to number of protons.
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atoms of a given number. The elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic number on the periodic table. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons, however, the number of electrons is not the atomic number of an element.
Yes.
M.GMosly found the atomic number. Atomic number is equals to protons.
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.
no of the protons or the no of electron is equal to the atomic no denoted by the symbol Z
The number of protons is identical to the number of electrons when an atom is in a neutral state.
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons (in the neutral state)
Atomic number describes about number of protons.It is equals to number of protons.
The atomic mass NUMBER equals the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. DO NOT confuse this with the mass of an atom.
It is found by m.g mosly. It is equals or protons that atom has.
If the atomic number is 6 then the number of protons is also 6. The atomic number is defined as the number of protons. In non-ionic form it is also the number of electrons.
Atomic number describes about number of protons.It is equals to number of protons.
Atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of an element. It is the number of protons that determines the atomic number. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. So in a way you could say that atomic number determines the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
