What else can I help you with?
In a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of what?
The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.
The number of these is equal to the number of electrons in an atom?
A neutral atom has equal numbers of elecrons and protons.
Are protons and electrons always equal?
yes,,,because the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. No, when electons are lost or gained by an atom (number of protons stays the same) the atoms become 'ions,' which are positively or negatively charged respectively.
What makes an atom neutral?
An atom is neutral when the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus. Protons are positively charged, while electrons are negatively charged. The opposite charges balance each other out, resulting in a neutral overall charge for the atom.
What two particles in an atom always have the same number?
Protons and electrons in an atom always have the same number, which determines the atom's overall charge. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of the element, while the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.
What is the number of protons in the nucleus or the number the electrons in the energy levels called?
The number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number and is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
Do protons and electrons have the same number?
Yes, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons. The number of protons is also equal to the number of electrons
If an atom contains 15 electrons it will also have 15?
Protons, because electrons are equal to the atomic number and protons are equal to the number of electrons.
When the number of protons does not equal the number of electrons the atom is called?
an ion, or ionized
In a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of what?
The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.
Is the number of protons no of electrons?
Yes , the no. of electrons is equal to the no. of protons
Nobelium has an atomic number of 102 how many protons and electrons does it have?
Nobelium has 102 protons and 102 electrons, as the number of protons is equal to the atomic number, and in a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
When atoms are at rest what do they have an equal number of?
protons and electrons protons and electrons
How many electrons versus protons in an atom?
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
Is the number of valence electrons equal to the number of protons?
No, the number of valence electrons is not always equal to the number of protons. The number of valence electrons is determined by the group number of an element on the periodic table, while the number of protons is the atomic number of the element.
What is equal to the number of protons which is equal to the number of electrons?
Do you mean what does the number of protons equal? This is the atomic number of the element. All isotopes of an element will have the same number of protons, only the number of neutrons varies.
Where did you found in an element number of protons and electrons?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons, for a neutral atom.
