A Periodic Table should help you figure out how many protons and electrons there are. The atomic number is the same as the number of protons, is the same as the number of electrons. The number of neutrons will vary between isotopes.

How many protons electrons and neutrons in uranium -238?

Protons = 92 Electrons = 92 Neutrons = 146 The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atom are each equal to the atomic number of the element (92). The number of neutrons equals the atomic weight minus the number of protons (238 - 92 = 146).Uranium has 92 protons, 92 electrons, and usually 147 neutrons, though another isotope has 143 neutrons.


How do the atoms of one element differ from those of another element?

Atoms of different elements differ in their number of protons, which determines the element's identity. Each element has a unique number of protons in its nucleus, leading to distinct chemical properties. Differences in the number of neutrons and electrons can result in isotopes and ions of the same element.


What are the subatomic particles of calcium?

Calcium has 20 electrons and protons; the number of neutrons is specific for each isotope. Number of neutrons in a calcium atom = Mass number - 20


How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in sulfur?

There are 16 protons, 16 neutrons and 16 electrons in a Sulfur atom. *note it's atomic number- this is the number of protons in an atom of an element. There must be the same number of electrons to balance the charge. The atomic weight minus the number of protons gives you the number of neutrons


The smallest part of an element that retains the elements characteristics?

The atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains it's characteristics. Sub-atomic particles such as protons, neutrons and electrons form the atom and it is the amount of each of these sub-atomic particles that make the element that element.

How many protons neutrons and electrons in potassium -43?

Potassium-43 has 19 protons, 24 neutrons, and 19 electrons. The number of protons and electrons is determined by the element's atomic number (which is 19 for potassium), while the number of neutrons is calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the isotope mass number.


Where are the protonselectronsand neutrons in the atom?

Protons have a positive charge Neutrons have no charge Electrons have a negative charge Protons and Neutrons are found in the nuclei of atoms, while Electrons orbit in layers. Neutrons separate the Protons so that they never touch each other. The number of Protons defines which element you have The number of neutrons defines the isotope you have The number of Electrons defines the charged ion you have


What makes any element that specific element?

The Atom consists of a certain amount of electrons, protons and usually neutrons. The amount of each of these sub-atomic particles is what makes an element that specific element. Actually, it is only the protons. The number of neutrons and/or electrons can vary, and it is still the same element. The one thing that makes an element that specific element is only the number of protons.


Do atoms have equal electrons and protons?

Not all atoms have an equal number of protons and neutrons. They can, but they don't have to. Helium, for example, has two of each, but carbon (always with 6 protons) can have 6, 7, or even 8 neutrons. The more neutrons, the more likely it is to be radioactive. The number of protons and neutrons gives the atomic weight of an atom. All of the various amounts of neutrons that an element can have are called isotopes of that element.


What is the same about each element?

All atoms, no matter what element, are made of the very same building blocks: electrons, protons and neutrons.


How many protons are in element radon?

Radon has 86 protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different for each isotope: Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of the Rn isotope - 86
