How do you find the charge of an element without the number of protons neutrons or electrons?

In this case charge may be calculated by its combination with other ions, for example an element 'M' combines with two chloride ions, MCl2 then its charge must be +2.

Are the number of protons always equal to the number of neutrons?
No, in fact, they rarely are equal. There are different forms of the same type of atom. For example, there are three isotopes of Hydrogen, an element that has one proton. Hydrogen-1 has no neutrons. Hydrogen-2 has one neutron. Hydrogen-3 has two neutrons.
How can you find the nucleus with no mass number?
you cant get the # of neutrons if there is no atomic mass because you have to subtract the atomic # from the atomic mass #. so there is no way that u can find the # of neutrons without the atomic mass it is needed!
What is a stream of particles containing two neutrons and two protons?
The particle described is an alpha particle, and we might call a stream of them alpha radiation or an alpha ray.
How is the mass number different from the atomic number of an atom?
Atomic number of an element is the number of protons that an atom of an element contains. The atomic weight (the mass of the atom) is measured by not only the mass of the proton(s), but by the mass of the nuetrons and electrons too.
How many electrons does bromide ion have?
The element bromine has an atomic number of 35. This means that each atom contains 35 protons, and the requirement for electrical neutrality in an atom means that the atom also contains 35 electrons. A bromide ion contains one more electrons than a bromine atom: 36.
What subatomic particles could be changed without changing which element the atom?
You are probably referring to neutrons which are often found within the nucleus of an atom in numbers different from the protons. An atom of the element carbon, for instance, normally consists of 12 protons, 12 electrons and 12 neutrons. However, an isotope of carbon known as C13 consists of 12 protons, 12 electrons and 13 neutrons.
Can you identify an atom without knowing number of neutrons in it?
Yes, and in order to find the Number of Neutrons, subtract Atomic Mass from Number Of Protons, the result will be the Number of Neutrons for that atom *No. Of Neutron=Atomic Mass - Number Of Protons

How many protons and neutrons are in an a-particle?
2 protons and 2 neutrons (an a-particle is effectively a helium atom without any electrons).
What are the three fundamental particles that make up atoms?
Atoms are the basic constituents of matter. Protons, Neutrons, And Electrons are the main partilces. Electrons orbit outside nucleus. Protons and neutrons reside in the nucleus.
How do you find out the mass number of an element without knowing the protons and neutrons?
It is not possible.
How many protons neutrons and electrons does Fe-56 have?
It doesn't matter if it's 56Fe or 49Fe; the number of protons in an atom of iron will remain constant. Why? Because if there was one more electron, it wouldn't be Fe anymore: it'd be cobalt (Co). The number of protons determines the element, the only thing that can change regarding the nuclear makeup of an atom without changing the element is the number of electrons. The 56 stands for the atomic weight of that particular isotope of iron. If each neutron and each proton weigh 1 amu each, then the atomic weight minus the number of protons will give you the number of neutrons.
How would you calculate the atomic mass of atom without using the periodic table if you know the number of protons electrons and neutrons?
Add the number of protons plus the number of neutrons for an approximate answer. Compared to protons and neutrons, electrons have zero mass - it takes over 1800 electrons to equal the mass of a proton or neutron.
What subatomic particles could be changed without changing which element the atom is?
The element that an atom is is determined by the number of protons. The number of electrons can be changed (creating an ion), and the number of neutrons can be changed (creating an isotope), and as long as the number of protons does not change, the element that the atom is does not change.
Can you identify an atom without number of neutrons in it?
Every element has a specific number of protons, which is how an element is identified. That gives its atomic number. The number of neutrons can vary, and therefore is not useful in identifying an element.
How many protons electrons and neutrons are there in the ion?
Without knowing which nuclide is in question, it remains safe to say that regardless of the element, in an ion the atomic number or count of protons differs from the number of electrons - and thus the atom is overall not electrically neutral - the definition of an ion. With fewer electrons than protons, it would be a positively charged ion (cation); with more electrons than protons, it would be a negative ion (anion). If the atomic number (proton number) is P, the charge is x and the mass number is M, then protons = P neutrons = M- P and electrons is the algebraic sum of P and x.
What element has one proton one electron and no neutrons?
Yes, every element of matter has a corresponding element of antimatter, and antimatter elements have nuclei consisting of antiprotons, not protons. It depends, however, on whether one considers antimatter elements to be elements or "anti-elements."
