#of electrons and # of protons is EQUAL in a neutral atom
All atoms of a given element have the same number of protons in a nucleus. It is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus that determines the elemental identity of any atom. Period.
No
Element refers to atoms that have the same number of Protons.
Atoms are not always neutral.A neutral atom has the same amount of positively charged protons, and negatively charged electrons.If the atom has more or less electrons than protons, then it has a net electric charge, and is called an "ion".Atoms are not always neutral.A neutral atom has the same amount of positively charged protons, and negatively charged electrons.If the atom has more or less electrons than protons, then it has a net electric charge, and is called an "ion".Atoms are not always neutral.A neutral atom has the same amount of positively charged protons, and negatively charged electrons.If the atom has more or less electrons than protons, then it has a net electric charge, and is called an "ion".Atoms are not always neutral.A neutral atom has the same amount of positively charged protons, and negatively charged electrons.If the atom has more or less electrons than protons, then it has a net electric charge, and is called an "ion".

#of electrons and # of protons is EQUAL in a neutral atom
yes
Atoms with more protons than neutrons are simply isotopes of an element. Atoms of an element always have the same number of protons. However, the number of neutrons can vary and can be higher, lower, or equal to the number of protons.
You are prolly asking this for an online true/false test or something, but the answer is no, not necessarily. They do always have the same number of electrons and protons however.
Atoms of the same element are alike and always have the same number of protons in their nuclei.
protons and electrons
well of protons, STOP CHEATING IN WIKIANSWERS AND DO YOUR WORK
when the protons changes, then the two atoms belong to two different elements.
Protons are found in the nucleus of atoms along with the neutrons of the atom. The nucleus is always in the centre of the atom.
Atoms of a given element always have the same number of protons in their nucleus. Neutrons can vary (in different isotopes) and electrons can vary (in different ions) but protons are always the same for a given element. If the number of protons is changed, then you no longer have the same element.
