Is the number of valence electrons equal to the number of protons?

No, the number of valence electrons is not always equal to the number of protons. The number of valence electrons is determined by the group number of an element on the periodic table, while the number of protons is the atomic number of the element.

No


What two particles in an atom always have the same number?

Protons and electrons in an atom always have the same number, which determines the atom's overall charge. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of the element, while the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.


Are protons and electrons always equal?

yes,,,because the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. No, when electons are lost or gained by an atom (number of protons stays the same) the atoms become 'ions,' which are positively or negatively charged respectively.


What is the atomic number always equal to?

The atomic number reflects the charge number of the nucleus. It is always equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.
