When the number of electrons and neutrons are the same, it means that the number of protons will also be the same amount. For example a nitrogen atom has 7 electrons and 7 neutrons, this means that the number of protons will also be 7.

The main difference between isotopes of the same element has to dowith the number of?

The main difference between isotopes of the same element is the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons, which affects their atomic mass.


What is the relationship between the electrons and neutrons and protons?

Electrons are negatively charged, smaller than neutrons and protons, and orbit around the nucleus. Neutrons have no charge, are about the same size as protons and are found in the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, are about the same size as neutrons and are found in the nucleus.


Do alpha particles and helium atoms have same electrons?

No. The difference between them is that helium atoms have electrons, and alpha particles don't.


Does a neon-22 atom have 2 more electrons than a neon-20 atom?

No, a neon-22 atom has the same number of electrons as a neon-20 atom, which is 10 electrons. The difference between neon-22 and neon-20 lies in their number of neutrons, with neon-22 having 12 neutrons and neon-20 having 10 neutrons.


A neutral atom must have the same number of neutrons and electron true or false?

FALSE!!!! A neutral atom must have the same number of protons and electrons. The number of neutrons can vary, to form isotopes. When the number of protons and electrons are different, they are no longer atoms but IONS. If we take hydrogen as an example, it forms three isotopes. #1 ; protium ; 1 proton, 0 neutrons and 1 electrons #2 ; deuterium ; 1 proton , 1 neutron and 1 electron #3 ; tritium ; 1 proton , 2 neutrons and 1 electron Notice the protons and electrons are the same number, but the number of neutrons varies, between isotopes.

How many protons neutrons and electrons are in Rutherfordium?

Rutherfordium has 104 electrons and 104 protons. The number of neutrons is between 149 and 264, depending on the isotope.


Differences between electrons to neutrons?

Electrons are negative and are found in the electron cloud, which neutrons have no charge and reside in the nucleus.

What is the relationship between the flow of energy and the transfer of electrons?

they both have a connection by neutrons of the same energy level of an atom


Can 2 isotopes of the same element differ in the number of electrons?

No. The only difference between 2 isotopes of the same element is the number of neutrons.


What is the relationship between the number of protons and the number of electrons in an atom?

For a neutral atom, the relationship between the number of protons and the number of neutrons is the same.


How are atoms the same?

they all have protons,neutrons,and electrons


Is the number of electrons equal the number of neutrons in an atom?

not usually, a standard atom will contain the same amount of electrons and PROTONS, not neutrons


Why are electrons number the same as neutrons number?

They are NOT. The number of electrons and the number of neutrons are not linked at all - for instance, an atom of Hydrogen has one proton and one electron and NO neutrons.


What is the relationship between the electrons and neutrons and protons?

Electrons are negatively charged, smaller than neutrons and protons, and orbit around the nucleus. Neutrons have no charge, are about the same size as protons and are found in the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, are about the same size as neutrons and are found in the nucleus.


What do two neutral isotopes of the element have in common?

The same numbers of protons and of electrons; the difference between isotopes is in the number of neutrons.
