In the quantity of the electrical charge, the electron and the proton contain equal but opposite charges. In terms of mass, the proton is about equal in mass to 1876 electrons.

How many protons are in an ion with 86 electrons and a negative 1 charge?

A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. Protons are positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged. Therefore if you have an ion with a -1 charge, it has one extra electron. So your ion has 85 protons.


How do the charges of protons and electrons compare in an atom?

We have 2 kinds of ions: anions and cations. Anions have an overall negative charge. This means that there are more electrons than protons. ( Electrons have a negative charge) Cations are positively charged. They have more protons than electrons. (Protons have a positive charge)


If Chlorine has 17 protons and negative one charge how many electrons does it have?

Chlorine with 17 protons and a -1 charge has 18 electrons. This is because the number of electrons should equal the number of protons (in this case, 17) plus or minus the charge (in this case, -1).


1 In an electrically neutral atom the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of?

In an atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. This only varies in ions, where electrons have been added to an atom or removed to create a full outer shell.


How do you know the number of electrons in a neutral atom?

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. This is because in a neutral atom, the positive charge from protons in the nucleus is balanced by the negative charge from electrons orbiting around the nucleus.

What is the reason one can determine the number of electrons from the atomic number?

It is because atomic no. is decided on the basis of no. of protons in the atom and no. of protons is equal to no. of electrons in an atom.


What is the number of protons plus the number of electrons?

The number of protons plus the number of electrons isn't a recognized figure in chemistry. The number of protons is the atomic number of an element. The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons except when the element is an ion. An ionic compound results in one or more electrons moving from one element to another element. Although this is a simplification, it can be described as the atom gaining or losing electrons. The number of protons plus the number of neutrons is the atomic weight of an element.

What charge do electrons and protons have?

Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged, and neutrons have no charge. The charge of one electron and one proton are equal yet opposite so they cancel out one another.Neutrons have a neutral charge -Apex

Do electrons have the mass as protons?

Protons are part of the nucleus, so they have less mass than the nucleus (except in the specific case of hydrogen, where the nucleus is a single proton so they have the same mass).Electrons are much less massive than protons. It would take 1836 electrons to equal the mass of one proton.Neutrons are very slightly more massive than protons, by just about the mass of an electron. They're close enough that they're generally treated as having essentially the same mass.


Do electrons neutrons and protons have essentially the same mas?

No, Protons and Neutrons have similar masses, but one electron is equal 1/1836 of a proton in mass.
