The number of protons is always the same as the atomic number. If you have a Periodic Table, then you will always know how many protons are in each element.

How do you write the charge of an ion?

find the difference between the number of electrons and protons, and then find whether protons(+) or electrons(-) are more abundant. if the difference was 2, for example, and there were (2) more protons than electrons, the charge would be written as: chemical symbol 2+


How do you find out how many protons and electrons there are in gold?

Gold has 79 protons and 79 electrons. This is because the atomic number of an element corresponds to the number of protons in its nucleus, which is the same as the number of electrons in a neutral atom.


Can you find out the number of electrons by adding protons and neutrons?

To find out the number of electrons in an element you must add the protons and neutrons and subtract that number with the atomic mass, this will determine the amount of electrons because the unknown element could be an isotope and have more than the normal amount of electrons of the non isotope element.


How do you find the number of protons and electrons of a molecule?

To find the number of protons in a molecule, you sum the atomic numbers for each element present in the molecule. Each proton has a positive charge equal to its atomic number. For neutral molecules, the number of protons also equals the number of electrons, as atoms are electrically neutral with equal numbers of protons and electrons.


How do you figure out protons electrons neutrons?

Find the atomic number. That tells you the number of protons and electrons (in a neutral atom). Then find the atomic weight. The number of protons plus the number of neutrons will equal the atomic weight. So if you know the wt. just subtract the number of protons and you will have the number of neutrons.

How do you find the number of protons electrons of an element?

The atomic number of the element is the number of protons, therefore there has to be the same amount of electrons to protons.


Find the Number of protons neutrons and electrons in xenon?

54 protons, an average of 77 neutrons, and 54 electrons.


How do you find out the amount of electrons in an atom?

The number of electrons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which is the number of protons in its nucleus. This is because atoms are electrically neutral, so they have an equal number of protons and electrons. You can find the atomic number of an element on the periodic table.


How do find the number of protons?

The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons and the atomic number.

How do you find an atomic mass?

It is nothing but the total no of protons and electrons .So it is found by summing the total no protons and electrons present in an atom It is not electrons but the total of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of any atom.
