Atom does not have to have equal numbers of protons and?

neutrons in order to be stable. The number of protons determines the element's identity, while the stability of the nucleus is influenced by the balance of protons and neutrons. Isotopes can have different numbers of neutrons while maintaining the same number of protons.


Do an atom have an equal numbers of protons and electrons?

no


What subunits are present in equal numbers in an atom?

Protons, neutrons, and electrons are subunits present in equal numbers in an atom. The number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons, while the number of neutrons can vary in different isotopes of an element.


What makes an atom neutral?

An atom is neutral when the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus. Protons are positively charged, while electrons are negatively charged. The opposite charges balance each other out, resulting in a neutral overall charge for the atom.


Do Eletrically neutral element have equal numbers of electrons and neutrons?

Electrically neutral elements have equal numbers of electrons and protons. A stable element has equal numbers of protons and neutrons. Thus, the answer to the question ''Do Eletrically neutral element have equal numbers of electrons and neutrons?'' depends on the stability of the element i.e. if stable then yes and if unstable than might not.


What does an atom with a no charge have?

Equal numbers of protons and electrons.


Does a stable atom have a positive or negative charge?

they're equal, if an atom has unbalanced protons and electrons, it becomes an ion.


How many protons could a stable atom with 90 neutrons potentially have?

A stable atom with 90 neutrons could potentially have a maximum of 90 protons, as the number of protons would have to be equal to or less than the number of neutrons for the atom to be stable.


What causes an atom to be stable and unstable?

An atom is stable when its nucleus has a balanced ratio of protons and neutrons, and when its electrons are in filled energy levels. An atom is unstable when it has an imbalance of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, leading to radioactive decay in an attempt to reach a more stable configuration.


The number of these is equal to the number of electrons in an atom?

A neutral atom has equal numbers of elecrons and protons.


In an atom what numbers have to be equal?

An atom must have the same number of electrons and protons to have a neutral charge.


When are all the negative and posive charges equal?

In a neutral atom, both charges are equal.It makes atom stable.
