There are no electrons in a proton. Rather, the number of electrons equal the number of protons. Take Chlorine for example, there are 17 protons. Therefore; there are 17 electrons. And just for fact, there are 18 neutrons.

Electrons and protons differ in their?
Mass, electric charge, and internal structure.
Which particle determines the nuclear charge?
The nuclear charge is the term given to the electric charge on the nucleus, and it is simply found by counting the number of protons.
Protons have no electric charge?
Protons do have positive electrical charge with value 1.6 x 10-19 C. Photons of course don't have electrical charge Positrons are anti particles of electrons and they have same charge as that of proton. Neutrons don't have electrical charge.
What is proton or atomic number?
A proton is a subatomic particle in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive electric charge. The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of one of its atoms. Therefore, if you change the number of protons in an atom, you change the element.
How is the charge of the atom or ion determined from the number of protons neutrons and electrons present?
Atoms have protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and electrons have electric charge, but neutrons do not. Protons are positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged. An atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Because the atom has same amounts of positively and negatively charged particles, the atom is neutral and has no electric charge. The only time an atom becomes electrically charged is if it loses or gains protons or electrons to throw off the balance. For example, we know that hydrogen only has 1 proton, 1 neutron, and 1 electron. This hydrogen atom has not electric charge. Later on, the hydrogen atom gains a proton. This would mean that there is more positive charge than negative charge in the atom. The hydrogen atom is now electrically charged.
When do atoms have no electric charge equal number of protons and what?
nuetron
Why do atoms have no electric charge?
It has an equal number of protons and electrons.
What does it mean for an atom to have an electric charge?
The number of electrons do not match the number of protons.
How do you figure out an atoms electric charge?
well you take the number of protons and you subract the number of electrons thus giving you the electric charge of an element
Electrons and protons differ in their?
Mass, electric charge, and internal structure.
What has an electric charge?
An electrical charge occurs when the number of protons in a nucleus differs from the number of electrons surrounding that nucleus.
What is is an atom with an electric charge?
An atom with an electric charge is called an ion. An ion is the result of an imbalance in the number of protons and electrons. If there is more protons than electrons then your atom will have a positive charge. If more electons then it will have a negative charge.
Atom that has equal number of protons and electrons?
That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.That is called a neutral atom, because it has no electric charge. If the atom has an electric charge (i.e., it has more protons than electrons, or more electrons than protons), it is called an ion.
Atoms have no electric charge because they?
They have an equal numbers of electrons and protons...MoMMy =)
What are atoms that carry an electric charge?
An atom that does not have a neutral charge is called an ion. It has an unequal number of protons and electrons.
How do protons and electric differ in their electric charge?
They are opposite.
What does the number of protons or electrons in an atom conclude?
The number of protons in an atom determine what element it is, while the number of electrons is what gives it it's electric charge (positive, neutral, or negative. i.e. if there are 5 protons and 5 electrons, the atom will have a neutral charge.
