Is an atom that has the same number of protons as neutrons a neutral atom?
False. The atom that has the same number of protons as it has electrons is a neutral atom.
If an atom is neutral the number of electrons and neutrons will be equal?
No, if an atom is neutral the number of electrons and protons will be equal. Neutrons have no charge and do not affect the overall charge of the atom.
Which element has 10 neutrons as in a neutral atom?
The element with 10 neutrons in a neutral atom is neon (atomic number 10).
What number of protons and neutrons must be contained in the nucleus to result in a neutral atom?
For a neutral atom, the number of protons (which determines the element) must be equal to the number of electrons. This means that the number of protons should be equal to the number of electrons for the atom to be neutral. Neutrons have no charge, so the number of neutrons does not affect the overall charge of the atom.
What is true about the number of protons and neutrons in a neutral atom?
The numbers of each are equal! Therefore the atom is neutral.
How do isotopes of the same element differ with regards to subatomic particles?
Same number of protons; different number of neutrons. The number of electrons will also be the same, assuming a neutral atom.
An atom does not have to have equal numbers of?
An atom does not have to have equal numbers of protons and electrons, but it needs to have the same number of protons and electrons to be electrically neutral. Having an unequal number of neutrons in an atom will result in isotopes of the same element with different atomic masses.
How many neutrons are in one atom in fluorine?
subtract the atomic number by the Atomic Mass, and that is the answer. if its a neutral atom, there are probably the same number neutrons as protons.
In an atom the number of proton equals the number of neutrons?
In an atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons in order to maintain electrical neutrality. However, the number of neutrons in an atom can vary, leading to different isotopes of the element.
A particle of matter contains of 6 protons 7 neutrons and 6 electrons This particle must be a A neutral carbon atom B neutral nitrogen atom C neutral oxygen atom D neutral potassium atom?
A particle containing 6 protons, 7 neutrons, and 6 electrons is a neutral carbon atom. The number of protons determines the element, so 6 protons corresponds to carbon on the periodic table. The number of neutrons is added to determine the isotope, and the number of electrons balances the charge to make it neutral.
What do all of one element have in common?
The same number of protons (the atomic number),(the number of neutrons in the nucleus may differ from atom to atom ) The fact that atoms of an elemnt have the same number of protons means that in the neutral atom the number of electrons is the same - and therefore the chemistry is the same.
Will an atom with 27 protons 32 neutrons and 27 electrons be electrically neutral?
Yes, the atom will be electrically neutral. This is because the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge), balancing out the overall charge of the atom.
