Why does chlorine have the same amount of protons as electrons?

all elements have the same amount of protons and neutrons. when they are not balanced e.g. there is an extra electron, they are no longer atoms they are ions.


What do protons equal on the periodic table?

In an atom of an element, the amount of protons in that atom equal the amount of electrons in the atom, but only if it is a neutral atom. That then eqals the atomic number of that element.


Can you think why atoms always have the same amount of electron as protons?

How can the number of proton neutron and electron be calculated to get atomic number and atomic mass?

atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number


What is the amount of protons in sodium?

Sodium, symbol Na, has an atomic number and is number eleven on the periodic table of elements. Therefore, sodium has eleven protons.


How many protons do all boron atoms have?

Boron atoms have 5 protons. You can derive this from the periodic table because the atomic number is the amount of protons the nucleus of an atom contains.


How many neutrons if number of protons is 18 mass is 37.8?

there is amount of proton = amount of electron and the mass = amount of proton + amount of neutron so we take the mass - amount of pronton we will get the amount of neutron =20.8
