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.
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.
The barium atom (neutral) contain 56 electrons.
A neutral atom has equal numbers of elecrons and protons.
The protons and electrons are equal in number in a neutral atom
The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.
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.
A neutral atom of uranium has 92 electrons. This is because the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and an atom is neutral when the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Uranium has an atomic number of 92, which corresponds to the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom of uranium.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The barium atom (neutral) contain 56 electrons.
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
An equal number of protons and electrons.
A neutral atom has equal numbers of elecrons and protons.
The protons and electrons are equal in number in a neutral atom
No, if an atom is neutral the number of electrons and protons will be equal. Neutrons have no charge and do not affect the overall charge of the atom.
