Are protons and electrons always equal?

yes,,,because the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. No, when electons are lost or gained by an atom (number of protons stays the same) the atoms become 'ions,' which are positively or negatively charged respectively.


What increases on a atom when neutrons do not add to the charge of an atom when its neutral?

When neutrons do not add to the charge of an atom, the number of protons remains the same, so the atomic number stays constant. However, the mass number of the atom increases because neutrons contribute to the mass of an atom without affecting its charge.


Description of an atom?

There are multiple conceptual models and mapping of the atom. Elementary models use visual maps of the proton, neutron and electron. Other maps use mathematical equations to describe quantum theory and subatomic particles.


If the atomic number for the element calcium is 20 than how many protons end electrons does each calcium atom have?

One atom of calcium has 20 protons and 20 electrons.There is 1 electron per proton in each atom of an element.By there being one proton for every electron, the overall atom stays neutral because a proton carries a positive charge and an electron carries a negative charge, and the two cancel each other out. Ions, on the other hand, are charged atoms or molecules, but we don't need to get into that because your question is dealing with an element.


When a chemical reaction occurs what always stays the same between reactants?

In a chemical reaction, the total number of each type of atom in the reactants must equal the total number of each type of atom in the products. This is known as the law of conservation of mass.

What is the charge that stays on an object called?

The charge that stays on an object is called static charge or static electricity. It occurs when there is an imbalance of electric charges on the surface of an object due to friction or contact with other charged objects.

What happens when a neutron is added to a neutral atom?

well, since a neutron = 0 charge placed into a neutral which is has no charge, it stays the same.

What is it when forces on an object are equal?

When forces on a body are equal, the body stays still. The forces have to be equal in strength but the direction of application should be exactly opposite.

Why do you charge the laptops?

You charge a laptop so it stays powered up. If you let it go to 0 the battery will run out and your laptop won't work. So make sure you charge it when it gets low!
