The number of electrons will equal the number of protons in a neutral atom. And this will also equal the atomic number (the number of an element in the Periodic Table of Mendeleev).

How many total electrons are present if the atom is electrically neutral in chlorine?
A neutral chlorine atom has 17 electrons. You can know this because chlorine's atomic number is 17, which is the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms, and a neutral atom has equal numbers of electrons and protons.
How do you find the number of protons or electrons in a neutral atom of an element?
in a neutral atom the no.of electrons and protons are the same. so what you have to only know is the atomic no.of that element
How do you find number of electrons in periodic table or how do you calculate the number of electrons?
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.
How many protons electrons and neutrons does an atom with an atomic number of 50 and mass number of 125?
If its a neutral atom, there will be the same number of protons as electrons. The atomic number will tell you how many protons there are, so there are 50 protons and 50 electrons.The mass number is the sum of the number of protons (or electrons in a neutral atom) and the number of neutrons. Since we know there are 50 protons, we subtract 125 with 50 to get 75 neutrons.
How many electrons in Sodium Oxide?
Sodium oxide has the chemical formula of Na2O. To find the number of electrons in this molecule, we first need to know the number of electrons for each of its constituent atoms. The number of electrons in a neutral sodium atom is 11 and the number of electrons in a neutral oxygen atom is 8. So, after doing some simple arithmetic, we find that sodium oxide has 2*11 + 1*8 = 30 electrons per molecule.
If you know the number of electrons in a neutral atom can you determine what the element is?
Yes, in a neutral atom the number of electrons and protons is equal, and it is the number of protons that determines what element the atom is. So, by looking at the number of electrons you can tell what element it is.
How do you find the number of electrons in an atom if you know the number of protons and neutrons?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons of the nucleus.

What can be determined if you know the atomic number of an electrically neutral atom?
The number of electrons can be determined if the overall charge and number of protons are known. If the charge of an atom is neutral, then how ever many protons it has it will also have that number of electrons.
How do you find number of electrons in periodic table or how do you calculate the number of electrons?
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.
Can you find an element if you only know the number of electrons in a neutral atom?
Yes. In a neutral atom, the +ve and -ve charges will be equal. Electrons are negatively charged, and protons have an equal and opposite positive charge. Therefore the proton number will equal the electron number. Elements are classified by their Atomic number, and this equals the proton number. So if you had a neutral atom with 6 elements, you know it has 6 protons in the nucleus and an atomic number of 6 - Carbon.
What do you need to know to find the numbers of protons in an atom?
the protons are the same number of electrons in a neutral atom and they aren't changeable but different signal
Is the atomic number of an atom is 11 how many electrons does the atom have?
You cannot know for sure withoutmore information. An electrically neutral sodium atom (sodium has at. no. 11) will have the same number of electrons as protons; atomic number tells you the number of protons, so this atom has 11 protons and would have 11 electrons if electrically neutral, however, if the atom is charged, it could have more or fewer electrons. Sodium atoms in stars are highly ionized and may have just a few if any any electrons.
