In atoms, the energy associated with having equal numbers of protons and electrons is the electric potential energy. This energy arises from the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged protons in the nucleus and the negatively charged electrons in orbit around the nucleus.
What else can I help you with?
What do all atoms have the same number of?
Atoms contain equal numbers of protons and electrons until they are ionized into a charged species or "ion."
What does isotopes?
All atoms of an element contain the same number of electrons and protons but they can have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms with different numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
Atoms are split to produce .?
other atoms, some loose protons, electrons, and neutrons (which get attached to other atoms and change them) and energy.
When atoms are split which part of the atom is energy released?
nucleus. the nucleus gets the energy and the realises it to the protons and the electrons.
Why neutral atoms have no charge but electrons and protons do why?
Neutral atoms have no overall charge because they contain equal numbers of protons, which are positively charged, and electrons, which are negatively charged. This balance of charges results in a net charge of zero. Electrons and protons themselves have intrinsic charges; protons possess a positive charge while electrons carry a negative charge. The absence of additional protons or electrons in a neutral atom is what maintains its neutrality.
Of what are atoms composed?
Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atom, while electrons orbit the nucleus in energy levels.
Is there a positive charge in atoms with equal numbers?
Atoms have positive protons in the nucleus with an equal number of negative electrons around the outside the nucleus. No there is no charge on an atom with equal numbers of protons and electrons.
What do all atoms have the same number of?
Atoms contain equal numbers of protons and electrons until they are ionized into a charged species or "ion."
Atoms have no electric charge because they?
They have an equal numbers of electrons and protons...MoMMy =)
How many electrons does aneutral atom with 2 protons and 3 neutrons have?
2: A neutral atoms must have the same numbers of protons and electrons.
What are the differences and the similarities on ions and atoms?
Atoms are neutral particles containing equal numbers of protons and electrons, while ions have gained or lost electrons, causing them to be positively or negatively charged. Both ions and atoms contain protons, neutrons, and electrons, but ions have an unequal number of protons and electrons, leading to their charge.
Why must the number of protons and atoms in an element be the same?
If you mean protons and electrons then protons are positive and electrons are negative, so the protons and electrons cancel each other out leaving the atom stable. If the numbers were uneven, the atom would be unstable and decay, but that doesn't mean that all unstable atoms have an uneven number of protons and electrons.
What electric energy?
All matter is composed of atoms. Atoms are composed of Electrons, neutrons and protons and some other particles. Electricity is the flow of electrons. Electrons orbit around protons and neutrons in every atom.......
What are the three basic parts of atoms?
electronprotonneutron
In what way do these atoms corresponds and in what way do they differin terms of their mass numbers?
Atoms correspond in that they are all made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. However, they differ in their mass numbers, which is the sum of protons and neutrons. Atoms of different elements have different mass numbers due to varying numbers of protons and neutrons.
Are atoms are NOT composed of protons neutrons electrons xenon's?
All atoms have neutrons, protons and electrons.
Does Neutral potassium atoms contain more protons than electrons?
No, any neutral atom contains the same number of protons as electrons. Protons have a positive charge, and electrons have a negative charge, so in order to be neutral, the numbers of protons and electrons have to be equal.
