The numbers of protons and of electrons in the atom must be the same.
For any element an atom contains EQUAL number of protons and electrons. An atom has no charge. If any given atom has an unequal number of electrons and protons it is no longer an atom, but an ION.
The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
There are the same number of protons as electrons in each atom unless the atom does not have a neutral charge, if it has a negative charge it has that more electrons, and if it has a positive charge it has that much more protons hope this helps
If the atom has no charge, then the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons (atomic number).
In an atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. This only varies in ions, where electrons have been added to an atom or removed to create a full outer shell.
It depends on the number of electrons and protons the charge of an atom depends on the number of electrons and the number of protons
It depends on the number of electrons and protons the charge of an atom depends on the number of electrons and the number of protons
The number of protons compared to electrons is what determines the charge of the atom. If there are more protons than electrons the atom is positively charged. If there's more electrons than protons the atom is negatively charged. Does this answer your question?
The atom is neutral. There is no charge.

In a neutral atom, the number of protons and the number of electrons is the same. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. If the numbers of each are equal, then the charges cancel out to zero and the atom is neutral.
The charge of an atom depends on the electrons compared to protons. Electrons being negatively charged, protons being positive. If there are more protons, the atom is positive, and if there are more electrons, the atom is negative.
In any atom,there are protons, neutrons and electrons. As the name would suggest, neutrons carry no charge. Protons carry a positive charge and electrons carry a negative charge. So in an atom that has no charge there has to be an equal number of protons and electrons.

The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
The overall charge of any atom is 0. This is because the overall charge is number of protons - number of electrons. For every atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons so it is 0.
it has a neutral charge because it contains an equal number of protons and electrons
