In a neutral atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The opposite charge between protons and electrons is what allows for a neutral atom.

∙ 13y agoIn a neutral atom, there are same number of electrons and protons. Because the Atomic number gives us the number of protons in an element, we are able to use the same number for the number of electrons.

What makes an atom neutral?
An atom is neutral if the numbers of protons and electrons are equal it's neutral.
The number of these is equal to the number of electrons in an atom?
A neutral atom has equal numbers of elecrons and protons.
Which to particles in an atom are equal in number?
The protons and electrons are equal in number in a neutral atom
How many electrons are in an atom of elemental sodium equal to?
The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the atomic number; sodium has 11 electrons. The number of protons is the same.
What is true about a atom that has a neutral charge?
The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
What is the relationship between the atomic number and the electrons in neutral atom?
In a neutral atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. And by definition the atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in it. So the atomic number of a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons or the number of electrons in the atom.
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.
What makes an atom neutral?
An atom is neutral if the numbers of protons and electrons are equal it's neutral.
What is the number of electrons in a neutral atom equals?
In a neutral atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The opposite charge between protons and electrons is what allows for a neutral atom.
The number of these is equal to the number of electrons in an atom?
A neutral atom has equal numbers of elecrons and protons.
What must a neutral atom with four protons contain?
A neutral atom must contain an equal number of electrons because it is a neutral atom.
Which to particles in an atom are equal in number?
The protons and electrons are equal in number in a neutral atom
Does the number of electrons in an atom give its atomic number?
The number of protons is equal to atomic number; in a neutral atom the number of electrons is also equal to the numbers of protons.
An atom is neutral if the atom has?
An equal number of protons and electrons.
How would you figure the number of protons or electrons in an atom?
The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to that of protons. If the atom is negatively charged, add it to the number of electrons; and if positive, subtract.
How many electrons versus protons in an atom?
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
Equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom?
electrons
