Boron electronic configuration is 1s22s22p1 so three electons in the outer energy level so it easily loss the three electrons it become tripositive ion

What is equal to the number of protons which is equal to the number of electrons?
Do you mean what does the number of protons equal? This is the atomic number of the element. All isotopes of an element will have the same number of protons, only the number of neutrons varies.
What subatomic particle is the same as the atomic number?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons (or the number of electrons) are the same as the atomic number.
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.
What is the symbol and number of electrons in a neutral atom of boron?
The symbol of a boron atom is "B", and the number of electrons in a neutral atom is the same as the number of protons, which equals the atomic number of boron: 5.
For a neutral atom what is its atomic number equivalent to?
Total number of protons AND the total number of electrons.
How many electrons are in a neutral atom atomic number 6?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is always the same as the atomic number.
Is the number of electrons the atomic number?
Yes, the number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the atomic number.
What is the relationship between the atomic number and the electrons in neutral atom?
In a neutral atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. And by definition the atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in it. So the atomic number of a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons or the number of electrons in the atom.
What is the atomic number of a neutral atom having 6 electrons and 5 neutrons?
Atomic number is 6. The isotope is 6C11 Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons (for a neutral atom)
What are electrons on a periodic table?
Periodic table lists the elements in the increasing order of atomic number. Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons
A neutral atom with an atomic number of 15 will have electrons in its outermost energy level?
The element is phosphorus and it contains 5 valence electrons.
How is an atom's atomic number related to it's number of electrons?
For neutral atoms the atomic number is equal to the number of electrons.
How do calculate the number of electrons in neutral atom poses?
Look up the atomic number of the element. The atomic number is the number of protons, in a neutral atom this is the same as the number of electrons.
Does the number of electrons in an atom give its atomic number?
The number of protons is equal to atomic number; in a neutral atom the number of electrons is also equal to the numbers of protons.
What is the formula used to calculate the number of electrons when only the atomic number is given?
The number of electrons is simply the same as the atomic number, assuming the compound or element is neutral (not positive or negative). To find the number of neutrons, take the atomic mass and subtract atomic number. The number of electrons is simply the same as the atomic number, assuming the compound or element is neutral (not positive or negative). To find the number of neutrons, take the atomic mass and subtract atomic number.
Does number of electrons in an atom give it atomic number?
The number of protons is equal to atomic number; in a neutral atom the number of electrons is also equal to the numbers of protons.
How many electrons are in an oxygen atom when it hase 2 eltron shell and 6 covalent atom?
A neutral oxygen atom has eight electrons, two in the first energy level, and six in the second energy level, which are the valence (not covalent) electrons. You can tell how many electrons a neutral atom has by looking at that element's atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of that element. In a neutral atom the numbers of protons and electrons are equal. So the element oxygen has the atomic number 8, and in a neutral oxygen atom, there will be 8 protons and 8 electrons.
