Any imbalance in proton/electron number in an atom results in a charge. Fewer electrons makes a positive charge, while more electrons make a negative charged (obviously). Charged atoms are known as ions.
The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.
A neutral atom with 49 electrons will have 49 protons. The number of protons and electrons are always the same in a neutral atom. If the number of protons is not matched by the number of electrons, then the atom is charged and is called an ion. Further, if protons outnumber electrons, the atom is positively charged and is a positive ion. For situations where electrons outnumber protons, the opposite is true. The element with 49 protons in it is indium, by the way.
Vanadium has 23 protons. The atomic number is the same as the number of protons.
It has the same number of protons and electrons. Because protons have got positive charges while the electrons have got negative charges, so if their amount is the same, the atom will be a neutral one.
101 electrons...to find the number of electrons in an element, you need to know the number of protons. There are the same amount of protons as electrons. The number of protons is the same number as the atomic number. Mendelevium has 101 as its atomic number therefore 101 protons and therefore 101 electrons.
Naturally, all elements have the same number of electrons and protons.
No, only atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons.
They are the same.
Yes, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons. The number of protons is also equal to the number of electrons
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
Isotopes have the same number of protons (which determine the element) but may have a different number of neutrons. They do not have extra electrons or protons; the number of electrons in an isotope is the same as the number of protons, ensuring the overall charge is balanced.
The atomic number of the element is the number of protons, therefore there has to be the same amount of electrons to protons.
All neutral atoms have the same number of protons and electrons as they are electrically neutral.
Number of protons
An atom has the same number of electrons as it does protons, and the number of protons determines what element it is.
protons and electrons are identical in number in an atom
They have the same number of protons in the nucleus and same number of electrons surrounding the nucleus.
