Ions, of the element corresponding to the number of protons, with different charge numbers, or possibly a neutral atom and at least one ion of the same element.

An atom with an equal number of electrons and protons has no?
An atom with an equal number of electrons and protons has no net electrical charge, as the number of positive (proton) and negative (electron) charges are balanced.
Elements are different because their atoms contain different number of?
As the atomic number rises one, one proton, one electron, and a variable amount of neutrons are added.
How are protons and electrons linked?
Protons and electrons are linked numerically; in any atom the number of protons and electrons is the same eg in carbon there are six of each. They have equal and opposite electric charges in an atom. The negative charge of each electron exactly balances the positive charge of each proton.
Why are atom said to be neutral?
The atom has the same number of electrons as protons. An electron is negatively charged, where a proton is positively charged. For example, in a Hydrogen atom, it has 1 proton and 1 electron, the proton and electron cancel out (+1 + -1 = 0) making the atom neutral.
Who made the statement that a neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons?
An atom is neutral overall by definition - if it isn't neutral overall then it is an ion, not an atom. The charge on an electron is equal and opposite to that on a proton, so yes, an atom is neutral overall, and the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
Does a atom have the same number of protons and electrons?
Yes it does. A neutral atom must ave same number of electron as protons to balance the charges.
An atom that is balanced or stable has the same number of negative charges as it does positive charges therefore you know that a balanced atom has an equal number of electron and?
protons and electrons .!.
An atom with an equal number of electrons and protons has no?
An atom with an equal number of electrons and protons has no net electrical charge, as the number of positive (proton) and negative (electron) charges are balanced.
What is equal to the number of protons and is different for each element?
electron
Atoms with the same number of protons but with different electrical charges have different?
ions
Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons but a different?
Isotopes are atoms of a given element that have the same number of protons but a different mass number and therefore a different number of neutrons.
Can you think why atoms always have the same amount of electron as protons?
When the number of protons is different another atom exist; the number of protons is specific for only one element.
What do you to find a electron of an isotope?
subtract the number of protons from the number of electrons. The above answer does not answer the question!!
The number of protons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of what?
In a electrically neutral atom, the number of positive charges in the atom's nucleus (with one charge being held on each proton in the nucleus), is balanced out by the number of negative charges present in the electron cloud round the nucleus (with one charge being held on each electron in the cloud). This means that in a neutral atom the number of Protons = the number of Electrons.
How are protons and electrons linked?
Protons and electrons are linked numerically; in any atom the number of protons and electrons is the same eg in carbon there are six of each. They have equal and opposite electric charges in an atom. The negative charge of each electron exactly balances the positive charge of each proton.
Elements are different because their atoms contain different number of?
As the atomic number rises one, one proton, one electron, and a variable amount of neutrons are added.
What does protons electrons neutrons mean?
Electrons, protons, and neutrons are different parts of an atom. The proton is positive and the electron is negative while the neutron is of both equally. Depending on the number of each is in an atom, is the type of atom you have.
