The short answer is yes. The 'electron cloud' surrounding the nucleus of the specific atom essentially increases the atoms size by many many thousands of times.
Protons and neutrons form the nucleusof the atom with electons orbiting it
an ion
47 (and it's ionized)
The nucleus is the center of an atom, composed of protons and neutrons, while inner electrons are found in specific energy levels surrounding the nucleus. The nucleus contains most of the atom's mass and carries a positive charge due to the protons, while the inner electrons contribute to the atom's stability and participate in chemical reactions.
An atom with an electric charge is called an ion. An ion is the result of an imbalance in the number of protons and electrons. If there is more protons than electrons then your atom will have a positive charge. If more electons then it will have a negative charge.
about 16
Ionic
positive
17 electrons.
30 electons
7 protons
The Answer is 4.....!
One - assuming the atom is not an ion.
A sulfur atom has 16 electrons.
In one atom of Oxygen there are 8 electrons
60
Valence electrons. They exist in the atom's valence shell.
