What else can I help you with?
What does an element atomic number equal?
The number of protrons of whichever element you choose. Each element has an exact number of protrons.
How can you find the number of electrons an element has?
In a neutral atom the number of electrons is the same as the atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus.
How would you figure the number of protons or electrons in an atom?
The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to that of protons. If the atom is negatively charged, add it to the number of electrons; and if positive, subtract.
What are electrons and how do you find how many electrons are in an atom?
Electrons, protons and neutrons are the building blocks of atoms. Electrons have a negative electrical charge and can be thought of as small particles that orbit the nucleus, made of the neutrons and protons. In fact, the behavior of electrons is very complex but this simple model is effective. The number of protons in an atom is the atomic number of the atom and this defines what element the atom is. The atom normally has the same number of electrons as protons. Therefore, the atomic number of an element represents the number of electrons in the atom. Note that the number of electrons can be changed when the atom is part of a compound although the number protons does not change.
Why do you calculate the number of electrons by the atomic mass and number?
You calculate the number of electrons by the atomic mass and number because elements have the same number of electrons as they do protons. The atomic number tells you the number of protons, which is also the number of electrons in a neutral atom. By using the atomic mass to find the number of neutrons, you can determine the overall charge and number of electrons in an atom.
What do you find in the nucleas of an atom?
protrons, neutrons, electrons
How can you find he number of electrons in an atom?
in an atom of neutral charge, the number of electrons will be the same as the number of protons, or the atomic number.
How many electrons does an atom has?
It depends on the atom you are reffering to, but to find the electrons take away the number of protons from the mass number of the atom.
What does an element atomic number equal?
The number of protrons of whichever element you choose. Each element has an exact number of protrons.
How do you find the number of electrons in an atom if you know the number of protons and neutrons?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons of the nucleus.
How can you find number of electrons in an atom?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons. The number of protons is the atomic number of the element on the periodic table.
How do you work out how many electrons in an atom?
The number of electrons in an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus, which is the atomic number of the element. You can find the atomic number on the periodic table. For atoms that are neutral, the number of electrons is also equal to the number of protons.
How do you find out the mass of an atom?
By the addition of the number of protons and the number of 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 can you find the number of electrons an element has?
In a neutral atom the number of electrons is the same as the atomic number, which is the number of protons in the nucleus.
How do you find the overall of an atom?
(Atomic number) - (Number of electrons present) = (overall electrical charge of atom)
How many electrons would you expect to find in a neutral atom containing three protons and four neutrons?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. So, in an atom with three protons, it would contain three electrons. The number of neutrons does not affect the charge or number of electrons in the atom.
