a neutron is neutral. it doesn't have the same number of protons and electrons, but an atom that is neutral does. A neutron has the same mass as a proton but it doesn't have a chrge. Protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged.

Does a neutron atom had the same number if protons as it does electrons?

Yes i believe it does.


What is the differences between isotope and element?

Regular elements contain regular neutron number and the same number of protons and neutrons. Isotopes have different neutron numbers than the original element, but the same number of protons and electrons.


Which Atoms have the same number of protons as what other?

The neutron. Unless it is an isotope, which has a different number of neutrons.


Are Isotopes are forms of an element that have the same number of protons but a different number of electrons?

NO. Isotopes are forms of an element that have the same numbers of protons and electrons, but differing numbers of neutrons. For example Helium-3 has two protons, two electrons, and one neutron and Helium-4 has two protons, two electrons, and two neutrons.A form of an element that has a different number of electrons than the number of protons is an "ion".


Which two particles have roughly the same mass?

Protons and neutrons have almost the same mass.


Neutrons and what almost have the same mass?

A neutron and a proton almost have the same mass. A neutron and 1,840 electrons almost have the same mass.


How are Xe-129 and Xe-130 same and how are they different?

They have the same number of protons (54) and electrons. 130Xe has one more neutron in the nucleus.


What atom has the same number of protons and electrons?

Naturally, all elements have the same number of electrons and protons.


An isotope of nitrogen could have more protons neutron electrons?

An isotope of nitrogen will always have 7 protons, as this defines the element. However, it can have a different number of neutrons, thus changing the mass number of the isotope. The number of electrons in an isotope is equal to the number of protons to maintain overall charge neutrality.


Do all atom have the same number of electrons or protons?

No, only atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons.


How can the number of proton neutron and electron be calculated to get atomic number and atomic mass?

atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number


All atoms of a given element have exactly the same number of what type of subatomic particle?

All elements are made of the same subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Oxygen and Gold are both made out of these same particles, just in different numbers. There is one element that lacks a neutron, and that is hydrogen-1, but it is still made of protons and electrons, in this case, one of each.
