The # of electrons is the same are the # of protons.
A neutral atom of silicon will have 4 valence electrons. The amount of valence electrons that a neutral atom will have can be found by the atoms group number in the periodic table.
Atoms are mostly empty space. They do have a nucleus. This contains subatomic particles. Protons. neutrons, and electrons are all subatomic particles. Protons carry a positive charge. Neutrons carry a neutral charge Electrons carry a negative charge. You may want to see the Bhor/plum-pudding model for more information.
An ion is an atom with a positive (+) or negative (-) charge. This is because the atom has a different amount of electrons than its number of protons (aka atomic number).
atoms have neutral or no charge. ions have a charge whether positive or negative and have either more protons than neutrons and vice versa.An atom has an equal amount of Electrons and Protons, but an ion is a particle with an uneven amount of Protons and Electrons. A Cation, having more Protons than Electrons and an Anion, having more Electrons than Protons.
Always the Atomic Number = Number of Protons If electrically neutral, Atomic Number = Number of Electrons = Number of Protons
The electrons are equal to the amount of protons in that neutral atom.
Yes
it holds the amount of electrons.
The atomic number of an element tells you how many electrons there are and how many protons there are.
The amount of electrons is balanced by the same amount of protons in a neutral atom, such as for the neutral hydrogen atom; it has 1 proton and 1 electron.
Electrons are the same thing as protons so, you would look at the first # in the square "Atomic Mass" andthere's your awnser.

In an atom, there are the same amount of protons as electrons, if that's what you mean.
A single atom of Carbon has 6 electrons, with 4 in the outer shell which it will use to react
If you're referring to the nucleus of an atom, the answer is electrons.
It depends on the amount of electrons.
