Atoms have no electric charge because they?
They have an equal numbers of electrons and protons...MoMMy =)
What are the subtomic particles?
it is a particle smaller than an atom. usually the protons,neutrons,and electrons.
How many protons and electrons are there in the iodide ion?
There are 53 protons and 53 electrons in an iodine atom.
What does a atom contain?
All atoms of an element have the same number of protons and electrons (in the neutral state).
What does the nucleus of an atom not contain?
The nucleus of an atom doesn't contain electrons, but it does contain protons and neutrons.
Formula units of salt NaCl contain equal numbers of what?
protons and electrons
What is true about all anions?
Atoms are not anions. An atom is an electrically neutral particle with equal numbers of protons and electrons. An atom becomes an anion by gaining more electrons, so becoming negatively charged.
Does Neutral potassium atoms contain more protons than electrons?
No, any neutral atom contains the same number of protons as electrons. Protons have a positive charge, and electrons have a negative charge, so in order to be neutral, the numbers of protons and electrons have to be equal.
How do the numbers of protons neutrons and electrons for an element compare?
In the neutral state, all atoms of the same element contain equal numbers of protons and electrons. However, most elements have atoms with different numbers of neutrons. These are called isotopes.
How many electrons are in 36 protons?
Protons do not contain electrons. Protons are positively charged, electrons negatively charged.
What do all atoms have the same number of?
Atoms contain equal numbers of protons and electrons until they are ionized into a charged species or "ion."
What are the charges of Protons Neutronsand Electrons?
Protons have + charge and electrons have - charge.Neutrons does not contain any charge.
If an atom contains 15 protons it must contain?
Any atom should have equal number of protons and electrons. If the atom contains 15 protons then it must contain 15 electrons.
Does a noble gas have twice as many electrons as protons?
equal numbers of protons and electrons
How do the number of protons compare to the number of electrons in an atom with a neutral charge?
The numbers of protons and the numbers of electrons balance; they are equal.
What does isotopes?
All atoms of an element contain the same number of electrons and protons but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
What does barium contain in it?
Protons, neutrons and electrons.
