Give the electron configuration for a neutral atom of chlorine?
The electron configuration for neutral Chlorine is 2.8.6.
Symbol and number of electrons in neutral atom of uranium?
Electron configuration of uranium: [Rn]5f36d17s2
Number of electrons in the outer orbit of an atom of lithium?
A neutral atom of lithium has an electron configuration of 2,1. This means it has 1 electron in its outer shell.
Give the electron configuration for a neutral atom of phosphorus?
1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p3
Must the number of electrons in an atom equal the number of neutrons?
Neutral atoms do, but ions (atoms with charges) by definition do not.
What is the charge of an atom that has an equal number of protons and electron?
It is a neutral atom
In a atom is the electron number the same proton number?
Yes, provided the atom is electrically neutral.
What does an atomic number represent in an atom?
the elementprotons in the nucleuselectrons in the electron cloud of a neutral atom
How many electron are in an neutral atom of sodium?
there are 11 electron is a neutral atom of sodium
Why number of electron are equal to the number of proton?
because an atom is electrically neutral
Where there is the same number of proton's as electron's the charge on the atom is considered?
neutral
Who made the statement that a neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons?
An atom is neutral overall by definition - if it isn't neutral overall then it is an ion, not an atom. The charge on an electron is equal and opposite to that on a proton, so yes, an atom is neutral overall, and the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
What must be true about its number of electrons for an atom to be neutral?
The atom must have equal number of proton and electron to neutral.
What number of electrons in a neutral atom of an element will be equal to?
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.
What is the number of electrons in an atom that is neutral atom with 30 protons and 34 nuetrons?
the no of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the total no of proton so no of electron is equal to 30.
The number of protons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of what?
In a electrically neutral atom, the number of positive charges in the atom's nucleus (with one charge being held on each proton in the nucleus), is balanced out by the number of negative charges present in the electron cloud round the nucleus (with one charge being held on each electron in the cloud). This means that in a neutral atom the number of Protons = the number of Electrons.
How many protons are there in the ions?
An Ion is:either positive ion that is a neutral atom with an electron or more stripped off from its electron orbits, ora negative ion that is a neutral atom acquiring an electron or more to its electron orbits.Accordingly, the number of protons in the nucleus is not affected by the ionization process. The number of protons in any ion of an element is the same number corresponding to the atom structure of the atom of that element.
