What is the relationship between number of element electrons and the number of protons?

Usually, for an neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons. If the atom is positively charged, it means that it has lost a certain number of electrons. For example, the Fe atom has 26 protons so 26 electrons in its neutral form. It can turns into Fe2+, in which case it would have lost 2 electrons. The new number of electrons is then 24. On the other side, Cl has 17 protons and 17 electrons. It can turn into Cl-, in which case it has gained one electron, the new number of electron is 18. Be careful, the number of protons does not change, it is the number of electrons.

and more exact:
Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
Number of protons = Number of electrons (in a neutral atom)

∙ 9y agoFor a neutral atom, the relationship between the number of protons and the number of neutrons is the same.

∙ 12y agothe atomic number is the same number as protons and electrons
protons: positive charged particle
electrons: negative charged particle

∙ 11y agoIn an element the no of proton and electron is always equal that's why an element us always neutrally charged.

∙ 8y agoGenerally they are e similar in numbers. That is why atoms are electrically neutral.

How do you find the number of protons electrons of an element?
The atomic number of the element is the number of protons, therefore there has to be the same amount of electrons to protons.
How many protons and electrons are in the element boron?

The atomic number of an element is what?
The atomic number of an element is how many protons and electrons (you must have the same amount of protons as electrons) an element has in it's nucleus. The Atomic number= number of protons= number of electrons.
What are the number of protons and electrons found in an element?
the number of protons in an element is called the atomic number and there is no way to see how many electrons an element has.
