Yes. The number of electrons in an atom tends to balance the number of protons. However, some atoms have more or less electrons, meaning they are in an ionic, or charged form.
The number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number and defines the element. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
A potassium atom has 19 protons and 19 electrons. This is because the number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which for potassium is 19. Electrons in a neutral atom are equal to the number of protons.
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
In any neutral atom, the number of protons = the number of electrons.
The atomic number of beryllium is 4. The atomic number of an atom says how many protons are in that atom. In an unionized atom, the protons and electrons are the same amount. Beryllium (unionized) has 4 electrons and 4 protons.
For a stable atom, no. of protons= no. of electrons no of neutrons= Atomic Mass- no. of protons

An atom of ruthenium contains 44 protons and 44 electrons. This is because the number of protons in an atom determines its identity, and for a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
They are the same.
Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons in its atom.
A potassium atom has 19 protons and 19 electrons. This is because the number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which for potassium is 19. Electrons in a neutral atom are equal to the number of protons.
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
The charge of an atom depends on the electrons compared to protons. Electrons being negatively charged, protons being positive. If there are more protons, the atom is positive, and if there are more electrons, the atom is negative.
Generally an atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Nitrogen has seven protons.
A neutral atom with 49 electrons will have 49 protons. The number of protons and electrons are always the same in a neutral atom. If the number of protons is not matched by the number of electrons, then the atom is charged and is called an ion. Further, if protons outnumber electrons, the atom is positively charged and is a positive ion. For situations where electrons outnumber protons, the opposite is true. The element with 49 protons in it is indium, by the way.
In any neutral atom, the number of protons = the number of electrons.
