There can not be an atom with more electrons than protons, however to find the Atomic Mass of any atom disregard the electrons and add the number of protons and nuetrons together. The previous answer is correct in that the atomic mass is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. The atomic number is the number of protons and in a neutral atom the number of protons and electrons are equal. Atoms have can have a charge, they are then called ions. The way the become charged is either through the loss (oxidation) or gain (reduction) of electrons. Therefore it is possible to have a charged atom with more or less electrons than protons.

∙ 13y agoFor a neutrally charged atom with 24 electrons, there would be 24 protons. However, if the atom has a charge (is an ion), you would add the charge to the proton number. For instance, if the ion carries a 2+ charge and has 24 electrons, it would have 26 protons. In contrast, if the ion carries a 2- charge and has 24 electrons, it would have 22 protons.

How many protons neutrons and electrons are in a nitrogen 15?
7 protons , 8 neutrons and 7 electrons in the neutral atom. Nitrogen has an atomic number of 7. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. In the neutral atom this is also the number of electrons . The "15" in nitrogen-15 is the mass number, the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Taking 7 from 15 there are therefore 8 neutrons in nitrogen-15.
How many protons neutrons and electrons in bismuth 210?
The chemical element, bismuth, has an atomic number of 83. That means that, assuming it's electrically neutral, it has 83 protons and 83 electrons. Since we know that this particular isotope of bismuth has a combined total of 205 protons and neutrons, the total number of subatomic particles in 205Bi; i.e., the total number of protons, neutrons, and electrons, is 205 + 83 = 288.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are present in one atom phosphorus?
There are 15 protons and 16 neutrons in the phosphorus atom. The atomic number, which is at the top of the square, represent the number of protons. In a neutral atom, there are the same amount of protons as well as electrons so there are 15 protons and 12 electrons. You can find the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass and round to the nearest whole number. In this case, the atomic number would be 15 and the atomic mass is 31. 31 minus 15 is 16 neutrons total.
How many neutrons are in iodine-127.?
Refer to the Periodic Table. Iodine has atomic Number of 53. This tells us that there are 53 protons in the nucleus. I-127 is the Atomic Mass. The figure is the total of all the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. So the total number of neutrons will be 127 - 53 = 74 neutrons.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in xenon?
The protons and neutrons are packed together in the middle and the electrons have space to move, around them. logically their should be MORE neutrons and protons,but this depends on the size of the atom and how many atoms in the neon. info from SUSSEX UNIVERSITY.
What is the total number of protons and neutrons in sulfur?
Sulfur has 16 electrons, protons and neutrons.
The atomic mass of an atom is determined by the combined masses of its what?
The total number of protons plus the total number of neutrons
What particles make up the mass of an atom?
The number of protons

How many protons electrons and neutrons in uranium -238?
Protons = 92 Electrons = 92 Neutrons = 146 The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atom are each equal to the atomic number of the element (92). The number of neutrons equals the atomic weight minus the number of protons (238 - 92 = 146).Uranium has 92 protons, 92 electrons, and usually 147 neutrons, though another isotope has 143 neutrons.
Why is the atomic mass the same as the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus?
The neutrons and protons are in the nucleus which determines the element/isotope. The electrons however define the net charge (ie. positive if there are less electrons then protons and negative if more) and it can be changed more easily, than changing the amount of neutrons . Another reason is that electrons have a tiny mass compared to the protons and neutrons and it wouldn't change the mass number by all that much.
How many protons electrons and neutrons are in the formula zinc and chlorine?
Zinc chloride has the chemical formula ZnCl2.The total number of protons is 64; the total number of electrons is also 64.The number of neutrons depends on the isotopes of Zn and Cl.
How many protons neutrons and electrons in bismuth 210?

How many protons neutrons and electrons are found in phosphorous?
Phosphorus has an atomic no. of 15 and its atomic mass is 31.=we know,atomic no.=number of protons==also, atomic mass=no.of protons+no. of neutrons==this implies, 31=15+no. of neutrons= 31-15=no. of neutrons= 16=no. of neutrons==also,no. of protons=no, of electrons=so, total no. of protons=15total no. of electrons=15total no. of neutrons=16

Distinguish between atomic number and atomic mass?
The Atomic Number of an element is equal to the number of Protons/Electrons in the nucleus and the Atomic Weight is approximately the total number of Protons/Electrons and Neutrons combined. Using Carbon as an example: Total Protons/Electrons = 6, therefore the Atomic Number is 6 Total Neutrons = 6, and the Atomic Weight is 12 Question? The Atomic Number of Lithium = 3 The Atomic Weight of Lithium = 7 How many Protons/Electrons? How many Neutrons? Answer: Protons/Electrons = 3 Neutrons = 4
How many neutrons does chlorine -35 have?
It has 18 neutrons. Its really simple, 35 is the mass number(A) i.e., the total number of neutrons and protons. We know atomic number(Z) of chlorine is 17. This is the number of protons. So A-Z will give us number of neutrons.
