What is a normal atom?
Its a normal atom if it have same protons, neutrons, and electrons to the one of the periodic table. If it have more or less neutrons than normal then its an isotope. If it have more protons than electrons then its a positive ion. If it have more electrons than protons then its a negative ion. An ion its a charged atom, more or less electrons than " normal " Isotopes its an atoms with the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons.
What is the formula to get the number electrons?
First you would calculate the number of protons... the number of protons = the total mass number then the number of protons should = the nummber of electrons(unless their is a number in front of the element like +1) therefore= # of protons = # of electrons
Is the number of valence electrons equal to the number of protons?
No, the number of valence electrons is not always equal to the number of protons. The number of valence electrons is determined by the group number of an element on the periodic table, while the number of protons is the atomic number of the element.
What is the relationship between the atomic number of protons and the atomic number?
The atomic number and number of protons are always the same in a normal element.
How does the atomic number of an element compare with the number of electrons that normally surround the nucleus?
If the atom is atomically neutral (meaning that it does not hold a charge and it's not a cation or an anion), then the number of electrons and protons in an atom will be the same. If they do hold a charge (say if it is an anion), then it would have an extra electron. If it was positively charged, then an electron would be lost.
How do the number of protons and electrons compare in normal atom?
They are equal
How do the number of protons in the atomic nucleus normally compare to the number of electrons that orbit the nucleus?
The number of protons is usually the same as the number of electrons!:)
How do the number of protons compare to the number of electrons in an atom with a neutral charge?
The numbers of protons and the numbers of electrons balance; they are equal.
In a normal atom how many electrons are there compared to protons?
In a "normal" atom, the number of electrons equal the number of protons. Many atoms, however, have missing or extra electrons, giving these atoms positive or negative charges, which we call ions.
How would you describe an atom in which the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons?
You could describe it as neutral as the charge of the protons cancels out the charge of the electrons, essentially though it is just a normal atom as if the number of protons was different to the number of electrons, it would be classed as an ion.
How do the number of electrons compare in two isotopes in an element?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. Isotopes of the same element also have the same number of electrons and the electronic structure.
What number is always equal to what so that an atom has no electrical charge in its normal state?
An atom with no electrical charge in its normal state has an equal number of protons and electrons. The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is the atomic number, which is the same as the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
What determines an element's charge?
The number of protons and electrons in the atom. If the number of protons = number of electrons, it is electrically neutral. If number of protons > number of electrons, it is positively charged. If number of protons < number of electrons, it is negatively charged.
What is a position and charge in a atom?
Protons (from the nucleus) have a positive charge and electrons (from the electron cloud) have a negative charge. A normal atom is neutral, because the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
What is a normal atom?
Its a normal atom if it have same protons, neutrons, and electrons to the one of the periodic table. If it have more or less neutrons than normal then its an isotope. If it have more protons than electrons then its a positive ion. If it have more electrons than protons then its a negative ion. An ion its a charged atom, more or less electrons than " normal " Isotopes its an atoms with the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons.
What subatomic particle is always equal in neutral atoms?
protons and electrons will always be = number
Nobelium has an atomic number of 102 how many protons and electrons does it have?
Nobelium has 102 protons and 102 electrons, as the number of protons is equal to the atomic number, and in a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
