Yes. If the number is unequal, it is an ion.
Yes that is correct. The atomic number is equal to the number of electrons which equals the number of protons

A neutral atom has the same number of protons as it does neutrons?
no. an atom is made up of protons neutrons and electrons. protons have a charge of plus one electrons have a charge of minus one neutrons have no charge. therefore the number of protons and electrons must be equal (balancing the charges) for the atom to be neutral. ;)
Metal with 25 electrons?
In a stable, Neutral system, the protons and electrons will be equal. The element with atomic number 25 is Manganese (Mn), See the periodic table
Why is a complete atom electrically neutral?
negative electrons and positive protons are equal.
When is an object electrically charged?
The Neutral is bonded to the ground at the FIRST main breaker, which is usually just as it comes from the meter. In normal residential applications, power comes from the meter, then to a panel. In that panel, the ground and neutral are bonded. If that panel feeds another panel, the second panel has to have its ground and neutral separated. Mobile homes have to have a main breaker outside the house, so the neutral is grounded there, and inside the mobile home, they are separated.
How many electrons are in a neutral atom with 12 protons?
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.
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.
How many electrons versus protons in an atom?
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
What makes an atom neutral?
An atom is neutral if the numbers of protons and electrons are equal it's neutral.
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.
The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atoms must always what?
#of electrons and # of protons is EQUAL in a neutral atom
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.
In an atom the number of protons is always equal to the number of what?
No - in fact it is quite rare
What is the number of electrons in a neutral atom equals?
In a neutral atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The opposite charge between protons and electrons is what allows for a neutral atom.
Equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom?
electrons
Where did you found in an element number of protons and electrons?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons, for a neutral atom.
How would you figure the number of protons or electrons in an atom?
The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to that of protons. If the atom is negatively charged, add it to the number of electrons; and if positive, subtract.
In a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of what?
The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.
