For neutral atoms, the electron number is always the same as the proton number.
For ions, charged atoms, the proton number is different than the electron number by the charge (e.g. a hydrogen ion, H(+1) has 1 proton and 0 electrons, 1 more proton than electrons).
The element with 2 valence electrons and 4 protons is beryllium. Beryllium has an atomic number of 4, indicating it has 4 protons in its nucleus. The valence electrons are the outermost electrons in an atom, and beryllium has 2 valence electrons in its outer energy level.
Only for hydrogen and helium are these two numbers the same. All other elements have at least two non-valence electrons, and the total number of electrons must be equal to the number of protons. Therefore, in all elements except hydrogen and helium, the number of valence electrons is less than the number of protons.
None. the positive charges on the 13 protons and the negative charges on the 13 electrons cancel each other out
Sodium's atomic number is 11. To be neutral then, it must have 11 protons and 11 electrons. Since sodium is in group 1, it has 1 valence electron.
If its a neutral atom, then it will have the same number of electrons as protons. Magnesium has 12 protons and 12 electrons.
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.
No, the number of valence electrons does not necessarily equal the number of protons in an atom. The number of valence electrons is determined by the group number of the element in the periodic table, while the number of protons is the atomic number of the element.

YES!!!!
None. the positive charges on the 13 protons and the negative charges on the 13 electrons cancel each other out
He has 2 valence electrons. Look on a periodic table. It will show He only has 2 protons and the number of protons and electrons is equal. It is an exception to the rule of group numbers corresponding to valence numbers.
Only hydrogen and helium have the stated property. For all heavier elements than these two, the number of valence electrons is less than the total number of electrons, which must be the same as the number of protons in all neutral atoms.
The number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number and is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
Sodium's atomic number is 11. To be neutral then, it must have 11 protons and 11 electrons. Since sodium is in group 1, it has 1 valence electron.
The element with 6 valence electrons and 52 protons in the nucleus is tellurium, which has the atomic number 52.
In the neutral atom of a chemical element number of electrons= number of protons=atomic number.
