No, there is no requirement that the number of protons equal the number of neutrons. In fact, this gives rise to the various isotopes of a given element (Different isotopes will have different numbers of neutrons, while sharing the same number of protons). The number of protons is what generally defines an element.
By being "uncharged" the atom is understood to have the same number of electrons as protons. Neutrons, being neutral, do not carry charge.
One where the number of protons (+) equal the number of electrons (-). one were the proton cancels out the electrons Ex. -5 +5 makes 0 uncharged atoms
The same number as there are "protons" in the atoms nucleus.
An uncharged atom of palladium has 46 electrons. This is because the atomic number of palladium is 46, which represents the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
Boron has 5 protons in an atom. The atomic number is the same number as the amount of protons.
An atom is uncharged or neutral when the number of protons in its nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus. This balance of positive and negative charges results in the atom having no overall charge.
The number of protons equals the number of electrons in an uncharged atom.
Yes.
equals the total number of electrons in the orbital shells.
To have an equal number of protons and electrons, it has nothing to do with the number of neutrons!

Firstly, an atom is uncharged by definition. If it is charged, that is it has gained or lost electrons, its name is changed to an ion. The atomic number is the number of protons of an atom of that element. And the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
An uncharged atom of palladium has 46 electrons. This is because the atomic number of palladium is 46, which represents the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.

An atom is uncharged or neutral when the number of protons in its nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus. This balance of positive and negative charges results in the atom having no overall charge.
Yes, in an uncharged atom, the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons occupying the orbital shells around the nucleus. This balance of positive protons and negative electrons is what keeps the atom electrically neutral.
polonium has 84 protons and 125 neutrons.84 electrons
