electrons are on the outside and don't count as part of the Atomic Mass. Protons do count as part of the mass and are inside the atom.

How are atoms of different elements similar and how are they different?

Atoms of different elements are similar in that they all contain protons, neutrons, and electrons. However, they are different in terms of their atomic number (number of protons), atomic mass (sum of protons and neutrons), and electron configuration, which determines their chemical properties.


What an atom will be if it has a different number of protons and electrons?

a) (well if it has different number of protons or electrons then it would be called an "ionized atom" either positive if more protons or negative if more electrons.) - if there are more neutrons inside the nucleus then protons you got isotopes - b) (well if it has different number of protons or electrons just look at the Periodic Table and count how many protons it has and look at the periodic table that will tell you what an atom will be )


How many protons neutrons and electrons are in chlorine 37?

Cl-37 : 17 protons , 20 neutrons , 17 electrons Compare with Cl-35 ; 17 protons , 18 neutrons, 17 electrons. These are two different and common isotopes of chlorine. Remember 'Different isotopes have a different number of neutrons'. Chemically they react the same.


How many electrons do protons have?

There are the same number of protons as electrons in each atom unless the atom does not have a neutral charge, if it has a negative charge it has that more electrons, and if it has a positive charge it has that much more protons hope this helps

How are ions and neutral atoms similar and different?

A neutral atom has an equal amount of protons and electrons. An ion is a charged atom. The amount of protons of a specific element will never change, but the number of electrons changes when an ion is formed. Therefore, a neutral atom and an ion are similar because they have the same number of protons, but they are different because they have a different number of electrons.


How do electrons different from both protons and neutrons?

Electrons carry a negative charge, protons and neutrons do not.

How many protons are in a electron?

Protons aren't in electrons? The Protons and Neutrons are in the centre of the nucleus of an atom, whilst the electrons are outside the nucleus..


Why the behaviour of both protons and electrons in isotopes of an atom are the same?

Protons and electrons behave similarly in isotopes of an atom because they both carry a fundamental electrical charge and interact with the atom's nucleus through electromagnetic forces. Although protons and electrons have different masses and are located in different parts of the atom, their interactions with the nucleus are governed by the same physical principles. This leads to similar behaviors of protons and electrons in isotopes of an atom.
