How many neutrons and protons make up a charged atom?
Neutrons are 'zero' charged. Protons are positively(+) charged. Electrons are negatively(-) charged. For any neutrally charged atom , the number of protons(+) equals the number of electrons(-); the charges balance. However, when an atom loses or gains electrons it becomes a charged species and is called an ION , not an atom. If the number of protons changes then it is a completely different element. Neutrons have no effect on the charge of an atom/ion, they only effect the atomic mass. Here are some examples. Hydrogen has one proton and one electrons ; charges balance. However the hydrogen ion has one proton and no electrons (H^+) Chlorine has two isotopes l different number of neutrons Chlorine - 35 , 17 protons , 18 neutrons and 17 electrons The Chloride(-35) ion has 17 protons , 18 neutrons and 18 electrons (35)Cl^-) , the chloride -35 ion Chlorine - 37, 17 protons , 20 neutrons and 17 electrons The Chloride(-37) ion has 17 protons , 20 neutrons, and 18 electrons (37)Cl^-) , the chloride - 37 ion. The Chloride(-37) ion has 17 protons, 20 neutrons and 18 electrons Notice , for the given element the number of protons remains the same, the different isotopes have different number of neutrons, and the ions have a different number of electrons.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in carbon 13?
Every atom of the same element will have the same number of protons. The number of protons is the same as the atomic number, which is 6 protons. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons, so 6 electrons. Carbon-13 tells the mass number (the sum of the protons and neutrons). So we subtract the number of protons from the mass number to get the neutrons, 13 - 6 = 7 neutrons.
Why doesnt the number of protons change for a single element while the neutrons and electrons can?
The number of protons in an atom determines its identity as a specific element. Changing the number of protons would change the element. Neutrons and electrons can be added or removed without changing the identity of the element since they do not affect the element's chemical properties.
How many protons are in carbon 13?
If its called carbon it has 6 protons. The isotope represents only a change in the number of neutrons. Carbon 14 is 6 protons and 8 neutrons. If there were 7 protons it would be Nitrogen, 5 protons is Boron. Intiende?
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in potassium 40?
I know that there are Electrons: 1 Protons: 19 But I am still reaserching the nuetrons I got this info off Answers.com ironicly so if I am wrong than I have no clue!
What do all atoms have the same number of?
Atoms contain equal numbers of protons and electrons until they are ionized into a charged species or "ion."

Can you say that isotopes are isoelectronic species?
Isotopes are not considered isoelectronic species. Isotopes have different numbers of neutrons, while isoelectronic species have the same number of electrons. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

Is all atomic nuclei positive?
Yes, though the overall charge of the entire atom is neutral due to the electrons orbiting it. If the atom becomes an ion by the removal or addition of electrons, its overall charge changes. But yes, the nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons. Protons are positive, neutrons are neutral.
How do you figure out the number of protons neutrons and electrons in ions and isotopes?
In general, there are two defining numbers for all elements and their isotopes: the mass number, and the atomic number. These are usually denoted as follows when an element is written: AZ X where A is the mass number, Z is the atomic number, and X is the symbol for the element in question (note that the A and Z would normally be aligned, not offset). The mass number, A, is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the element. The atomic number, Z, is the number of protons only. On the periodic table, elements are arranged by atomic number. In this case we see that Carbon is element 6, and so it had 6 protons. The number of neutrons alone can be easily calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number, so that N=A-Z where N is the number of neutrons. The number of electrons in a given element, isotope, or ion, can be easily determined as well. In neutral isotopes, the number of negatively-charged electrons must balance the number of positively-charged protons. Since the number of protons is given to us by the atomic number Z, this must also be the number of electrons. In ions, the plus or minus charge denoted tells us the overall charge of the species in question, and thus the lack or excess of electrons. A species with a +2 charge would have two less electrons than expected, while a -1 charge would mean one excess electron.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons?
A definitive answer is Isotopes of an element have a different number of neutrons. They have the same number of protons and electrons. Here's two examples of isotopes. #1 Hydrogen. protium ; 1 p roton , 1 electrons, 0 neutrons ( The commonest isotope) deuterium ; 1 proton , 1 elelctrons, 1 neutrons (knopwn as 'heavy hydrogen'( tritium ; 1 protno, 1 electrons , 2 neutrons ) Radio- active and the rarest isotope_. #2 Chlorine Chlorine-35 ; 17 protons, 17 electrons, 18 neutrons. Chlorine-37 ' 17 protonds, 17 electrons , 20 neutrons. Because both isotopes of Chlorine are very common and in the ratios of 35:37 :: 3:1 it is averafes out to five an atomic mass od 35,5 . There are many more isotopes in elements in the periodic table. NB do NOT confuse with neither Allotropes nor Ions. both are different species from isotopes.
How many protons nutrons and electrons are in cobalt?
Cobalt, with atomic number 27, has 27 protons and 27 electrons in a neutral atom. The number of neutrons in cobalt can vary depending on the isotope. The most common isotope, cobalt-59, has 32 neutrons.
Atomic mass is the number of what in the nucleus?
Atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons that are present in the nucleus While the number of protons and electrons remain constant in the neutral atom, the number of neutrons may vary within different atom species of the same element. As a result, the atomic mass for one atom may be different from another atom of the same element if the number of neutrons varies.
