What two particles in an atom always have the same number?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
How do atomic numbers relate to the number of particles in an atom's nucleus?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
Why is an atom electrically neutral inspite of the presence of charged particles it it?
Because an electrically neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons.
What makes an atom neutral?
An atom is neutral if the numbers of protons and electrons are equal it's neutral.
Why does an atom have no electrical charge?
Atoms have equal number of positively charged particles and negatively charged particles and some particles having no charge. Since numbers of positively charged particles and negatively charged particles are equal the NET charge as whole is zero.
What two particles in an atom always have the same number?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
Which two particles in an atom are equal of in number?
protons and electrons.
Which two particles in a atom are equal in number?
Electrons and protons.
What particles of an atom are equal in number?
In neural one, electrons and protons. In ions it may vary
How do atomic numbers relate to the number of particles in an atom's nucleus?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
What are the particles that make a atom including the atomic number and mass number?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom (which equal the number of electrons present) The atomic mass is the number of protons+neutrons in an atom
What number of particles in an atom usually equals the number of protons?
Unless it is an ion, the number of electrons will equal the number of protons.
Why is an atom electrically neutral inspite of the presence of charged particles it it?
Because an electrically neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons.
What does the atomic number of an element say about the number of particles in atoms of that element?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and neutrons in a neutral atom.
In the normal atom do the electrical charges of the proton balance the electrical charges of the neutron?
Not exactly. Though it IS true that in a normal atom, the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of neutrons, to make the atom electrically neutral (non-ionic), the number of protons (positively charged particles) must equal the number of electrons (negatively charged particles) that surround the nucleus.
What makes an atom neutral?
An atom is neutral if the numbers of protons and electrons are equal it's neutral.
What are chemical substances that break apart into electronically charged particles?
Ions. An ion is an atom in which the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons.
