Charge
The electrons; their negativity cancels out the protons' positivity so the atom is electrically neutral.
Atoms contain equal numbers of protons and electrons until they are ionized into a charged species or "ion."
In the atom state (not ionic), yes.
Protons, because electrons are equal to the atomic number and protons are equal to the number of electrons.
This is not a general valid rule; ions have a different number of electrons.
No, A proton is 1836 times heavier than that of electron.So they are not equql in magnitude
No - in fact it is quite rare
protons and electrons will always be = number
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons.
The electrons; their negativity cancels out the protons' positivity so the atom is electrically neutral.
No
#of electrons and # of protons is EQUAL in a neutral atom
yes,,,because the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. No, when electons are lost or gained by an atom (number of protons stays the same) the atoms become 'ions,' which are positively or negatively charged respectively.
The number of protons in the atom's nucleus and the total number of electrons in the electron shells of that atom.
Protons and electrons in an atom always have the same number, which determines the atom's overall charge. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of the element, while the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.
No, the number of valence electrons is not always equal to the number of protons. The number of valence electrons is determined by the group number of an element on the periodic table, while the number of protons is the atomic number of the element.
Atoms contain equal numbers of protons and electrons until they are ionized into a charged species or "ion."
