35 protons how many electrons?

An atom with 35 protons is iodine, which is a neutral atom. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons, so it also has 35 electrons. Therefore, an atom with 35 protons has 35 electrons.


How many protons and electrons are contained in an atom of element ruthenium?

An atom of ruthenium contains 44 protons and 44 electrons. This is because the number of protons in an atom determines its identity, and for a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.


How many electrons and protons are there in potassium?

A potassium atom has 19 protons and 19 electrons. This is because the number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which for potassium is 19. Electrons in a neutral atom are equal to the number of protons.


How many protons and electrons oxygen has in atom?

Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons in its atom.


How many electrons versus protons in an atom?

The number of electrons should = the number of protons.


Is the number of protons the positive charge of an atom?

The charge of an atom depends on the electrons compared to protons. Electrons being negatively charged, protons being positive. If there are more protons, the atom is positive, and if there are more electrons, the atom is negative.


If an atom has 49 protons how many electrons does it have?

A neutral atom with 49 electrons will have 49 protons. The number of protons and electrons are always the same in a neutral atom. If the number of protons is not matched by the number of electrons, then the atom is charged and is called an ion. Further, if protons outnumber electrons, the atom is positively charged and is a positive ion. For situations where electrons outnumber protons, the opposite is true. The element with 49 protons in it is indium, by the way.


When an atom has seven protons how many electrons does it have?

Generally an atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Nitrogen has seven protons.


How many protons and electrons does an osmium atom have A niobium atom?

An osmium atom has 76 protons and 76 electrons, as the number of protons equals the number of electrons in a neutral atom. A niobium atom has 41 protons and 41 electrons. These numbers correspond to their respective atomic numbers on the periodic table.


In a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of what?

The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.


What must be true of the number of protons and the number of electrons in an atom if the atom has no charge?

The number of protons must equal the number of electrons in an atom for it to have no charge. Protons are positively charged particles, and electrons are negatively charged particles. A balanced number of protons and electrons results in an atom with a neutral overall charge.


What is the number of protons and electrons of berrylium?

The atomic number of beryllium is 4. The atomic number of an atom says how many protons are in that atom. In an unionized atom, the protons and electrons are the same amount. Beryllium (unionized) has 4 electrons and 4 protons.
