Aluminum (Al) has an atomic number of 13, which means it has 13 protons and, in its neutral state, 13 electrons. When aluminum is ionized to form Al³⁺, it loses three electrons. Therefore, Al³⁺ has 13 protons and 10 electrons.
Electrons have a negative charge, and protons have a positive charge. If i have more protons(plus charges) than electrons(minus charges) overall the atom will have a positive charge(mabye +1 or +2 etc....depending how many more protons there are compared to electrons) If there are more electrons(minus charges) than protons(plus charges) then overall the atom will have a negative charge(mabye -1 or -2 etc....depending how many more electrons there are compared to protons) These charged atoms are known as ions.
If an atom has 18 protons, it is neutral and will have the same number of electrons, which is also 18. In a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons, balancing the positive and negative charges. Therefore, an atom with 18 protons will contain 18 electrons.
the number of protons in an element is called the atomic number and there is no way to see how many electrons an element has.
When we consider charged particles, we are only concerned with protons and electrons. Neutrons have no charge, so they don't contribute to a positive or negative charge. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. They are both equally positive and negative, that is to say one proton cancels out the charge of one electron. So as long as there are equal numbers of protons and electrons, the particle will be neutral. If there are six protons, then there needs to be six electrons in order to be neutral.
There are 67 Protons, 67 Neutrons, and 67 Electrons. The Protons and Neutrons are in the center, While The Electrons revolve on the outside.
17 protons and 18 electrons
i think it depends how many electrons it has. then you do something like subtract the electrons from the protons. electrons are negative, protons are positive.
There are the same number of protons as electrons in each atom unless the atom does not have a neutral charge, if it has a negative charge it has that more electrons, and if it has a positive charge it has that much more protons hope this helps

Protons - 108 Neutrons - 169 Electrons - 108 I think. :P
A neutral atom with 12 protons will have 12 electrons in order to balance the positive charge from the protons.
If an atom has 18 protons, it is neutral and will have the same number of electrons, which is also 18. In a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons, balancing the positive and negative charges. Therefore, an atom with 18 protons will contain 18 electrons.
Chlorine-35 has 17 electrons. Chlorine has 17 protons, and since it is electrically neutral, it also has 17 electrons to balance the positive charge of the protons.
A positive two ion of calcium will have 20 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons. The number of protons and neutrons in a calcium ion remains the same as in a neutral calcium atom (calcium has 20 protons and about 20 neutrons in its nucleus), but it loses two electrons to become positively charged.

A neutral atom has as many electrons as protons. This is because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, but because there are the same number of them, they cancel each other out.
In a "normal" atom, the number of electrons equal the number of protons. Many atoms, however, have missing or extra electrons, giving these atoms positive or negative charges, which we call ions.
