Protons are positively charged particles, made up of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark. They are found in the nucleus of an atom held together, along with neutrons by the force particles of the weak nuclear force.

Protons are to be found in plasmas, in the solar wind and when it is operating, in the experiments at CERN.

# protons = atomic number.


How do you find the ratio of neutrons to protons?

The ratio of neutrons to protons in an atom can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass (sum of protons and neutrons) of the atom. Mathematically, ratio of neutrons to protons = (Atomic mass - Atomic number).

How did you find out protons are in the nucleus?

The number of protons in the atomic nucleus is equal to atomic number.


How do find the number of protons?

The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons and the atomic number.


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.

In an atom where would you find protons?

In the nucleus.


How do you find protons without electrons?

The number of protons is always the same as the atomic number. If you have a periodic table, then you will always know how many protons are in each element.


If this atom has a balanced charge how many protons would you expect to find in this atom?

If an atom has a balanced charge, it means that the number of protons equals the number of electrons. So, you would expect to find the same number of protons as the atomic number of the element.
