The atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. It also corresponds to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. A neutral atom, you'll recall, is one where the number of electrons equals the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. We remember that atoms often "loan out" or "borrow" electrons, so the electron count will not always equal the proton count.
Atomic number = number of protons + number of neutrons Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
Yes, there is a relationship between atomic mass and the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. The atomic mass is approximately equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, as electrons have negligible mass compared to protons and neutrons. The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons, in order to maintain a balanced charge.
In an atom protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus.
Yes, the nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons.
The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons.
For a neutral atom, the relationship between the number of protons and the number of neutrons is the same.
Atomic number = number of protons + number of neutrons Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
54 protons and between 70 to 82 neutrons in stable isotopes.

protons and neutrons are located in the atom's nucleus.
These numbers actually vary between atom to atom.
In an atom protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus.
Electrons are negatively charged, smaller than neutrons and protons, and orbit around the nucleus. Neutrons have no charge, are about the same size as protons and are found in the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, are about the same size as neutrons and are found in the nucleus.
Yes, the nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons.
there is no atom
