30 protons defines the atomic number. It matters not how many neutrons there are. The atomic number is 30, and the element is Zn (zinc).

What number is used to determine how many electrons are in a neutral atom?
The atomic number (the number of protons in the atom). Neutral charge = 0 = (number of protons - number of neutrons). Therefore, number of protons = number of neutrons
How do you determine the number of protons electrons and neutrons present in an element by identifying its atomic and mass numbers from the periodic table?
Atomic number means number of protons present in an atom. Atomic number= number of protons. mass number = number of neutrons+ number of protons. So if you subtract the number of protons you get neutrons and if you subtract neutrons you get protons. mass number - protons= neutrons Mass number - neutrons = protons.
How do you find the number of neutrons protons and electrons in an atom if the atom is neutral?
The number of electrons in an atom is always equal to the number of protons in that same atom. Since the atomic mass of a periodic element equals the weight of the atoms protons AND its neutrons, the following equation can be used to calculate the number of any given particle in an atom: number of neutrons = atomic mass - atomic number
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.
What is the atomic number of an atom contains 40 protons 40 electrons and 51 neutrons?
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus which, for a neutral atom, would be 32.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in a neutral atom of 64Cu atomic number 29?
There are similar number of neutrons and protons. It contains 29 neutrons and protons.
What number is used to determine how many electrons are in a neutral atom?
The atomic number (the number of protons in the atom). Neutral charge = 0 = (number of protons - number of neutrons). Therefore, number of protons = number of neutrons
How do you figure out protons electrons neutrons?
Find the atomic number. That tells you the number of protons and electrons (in a neutral atom). Then find the atomic weight. The number of protons plus the number of neutrons will equal the atomic weight. So if you know the wt. just subtract the number of protons and you will have the number of neutrons.
What is the difference between atomic mass?
How do you determine the number of protons electrons and neutrons present in an element by identifying its atomic and mass numbers from the periodic table?
Atomic number means number of protons present in an atom. Atomic number= number of protons. mass number = number of neutrons+ number of protons. So if you subtract the number of protons you get neutrons and if you subtract neutrons you get protons. mass number - protons= neutrons Mass number - neutrons = protons.
Difference between atomic and mass number?
Atomic number shows the number of protons in an element and the mass number shows the number of protons+neutrons In an electrically neutral atom, atomic number is also the number of electrons .
How many protons electrons and neutrons does Si-29 has?
Silicon-29 has 14 protons (atomic number), 14 electrons if the atom is neutral, and 15 neutrons (mass number - atomic number).
How many neutrons are in one atom in fluorine?
subtract the atomic number by the Atomic Mass, and that is the answer. if its a neutral atom, there are probably the same number neutrons as protons.
What is another term for neutron number?
In a neutral atom the protons and neutrons are equal; protons are determined by the element's atomic number. Therefore, the "neutron number" can refer to the atomic number- in a neutral atom only.
How do you find the number of neutrons protons and electrons in an atom if the atom is neutral?
The number of electrons in an atom is always equal to the number of protons in that same atom. Since the atomic mass of a periodic element equals the weight of the atoms protons AND its neutrons, the following equation can be used to calculate the number of any given particle in an atom: number of neutrons = atomic mass - atomic number
What are the relationship between protons and neutrons in a atom?
The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It also corresponds to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. A neutral atom, you'll recall, is one where the number of electrons equals the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. We remember that atoms often "loan out" or "borrow" electrons, so the electron count will not always equal the proton count.
Why is it that the atomic number is only referring to the number of protons and neutrons?
This is not true. The atomic number refers to the number of protons only.NOTE THAT in a neutral atom, the atomic number can be said to refer to both the number of protons and the number of electrons. This is because in order for an atom to be neutral, there must be equal number of electrons and protons.
