Atoms that are neutrally charged will have the same number of protons as electrons, because one proton will cancel out one electron. To achieve a net charge of 0, 12 protons must be countered with 12 electrons.
49 protons, 64 neutrons and 49 electrons.
The atomic number tells you how many protons and electrons are in a specific element.Atomic number tells us about protons. Number of protons that atom contains.
All you need is the atomic number, which gives the number of protons, in this case, 5. In any neutral atom the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons. So any neutral boron atom will have 5 electrons.
An atom can either have a positive or negative charge, and a charged atom is called an ion. If an atom loses an electron to another atom, it becomes a positive ion. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negative ion.

The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
The atom must have 8 electrons to make it have a neutral charge
If a neutral atom of sodium has 11 protons, it will have 11 electrons also.
protons
5 electrons because no. of protons= no. of electrons
24 protons and 24 electrons
A neutral atom with 12 protons will have 12 electrons in order to balance the positive charge from the protons.
It will have 30 protons and 30 electrons if the atom is neutral.
It depends entirely on what type of atom it is. (Neutral atom is redundant. A "non-neutral" atom is referred to as an ion) If it is an atom of carbon, for example, there are 6 electrons. Silicon, on the other hand, has 14 electrons.
A neutral atom contains the same number of electrons as protons. Therefore, an atom with 18 protons will also have 18 electrons to maintain an overall neutral charge.
A neutral atom of iron with 26 protons will have 26 electrons.
The neutral atom of cadmium has 48 electrons.
