a stable atom will always have an octate( 8 electrons in valence shell)
configuration ( except helium) but a neutral atom have no charge and no. protons will be equal to no. electrons. In a stable atom it is not necessary that no. of electrons is equal to no. of protons and it may or may not be neutral. a stable atom will be an ion and may have a charge as a stable atom of sodium.
What else can I help you with?
How many electrons does chromium-63 have?
24, in the neutral atom. I think you mean chromium-53. It doesn't matter - the atomic number (the number of protons in the nuceus determines how many electrons there are in the neutral atom - the mass number ( the total protons and neutrons does not affect the number of electrons)
What does it mean when an entire atom has a charge of o?
If an atom has a charge of 0, it is neutrally charged. This means that the number of electrons in the atom is equal to the number of protons in the atom.
What does elements in chemistry mean?
an element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler, stable substances and is made of one type of atom.
What is the neutral atom that has the first two energy levels filled and has 4 electrons in its third energy level?
You appear to mean silicon. Please see the link.
What does it mean when something is not neutral?
'Neutrality' in most contexts simply means 'nonpolar'. A neutral atom is neither positive or negative. A neutral party takes neither side in an argument. A neutral color isn't particularly flashy or noticeable. To be 'not neutral' means to be polar. It means to take a side, to have an opinion, to stand out.
What does the word neutral mean for the kinds of charge an atom has?
An atom that has a neutral charge is one with which the quantity of electrons is equal to the atomic number.
Is an atom with no mass mean it neutral?
There exists no mass less atoms. Every atom has a mass.
What does an atom that is stable mean?
it does not undergo any reaction easily
Are charges balanced in an atom?
Yes, charges are balanced in an atom. An atom is electrically neutral, meaning it has an equal number of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). This balance between positive and negative charges allows atoms to remain stable.
Is it true that in an indivisual neutron atom the number of protons always equals the number of electrons?
There is no 'neutron atom'. If you mean 'neutral' atom, then the answer is yes.
What is the small particle of an atom which carries a neutral charge?
I think you mean a neutron. We don't say 'a neutral charge', but rather that it has no charge.
What deos atom mean?
atomic mass is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.It can also be equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom
Is the center of an atom a neutron?
No the center of an atom (nucleus) is made up of both protons and neutrons.
What does protons electrons neutrons mean?
Electrons, protons, and neutrons are different parts of an atom. The proton is positive and the electron is negative while the neutron is of both equally. Depending on the number of each is in an atom, is the type of atom you have.
What do you notice about the atomic number and the total number of electrons in an atom of that element?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in an atom, which also corresponds to the number of electrons in a neutral atom. This means that the atomic number gives you the total number of electrons in a neutral atom of that element.
What is the charge obtained by a neutral object if you are charging by contact?
I believe you mean charging by contact as in electrons hitting the atom- then I suppose it would be a negative charge, because an electron is negative and it would make the charge of the opposing atom negative.
What kind of atom is a normal atom?
What do you mean by "normal" atom? There are ions: charged atoms or molecules. It is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. An atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom. But I think a "normal" atom, would be a neutral one. A neutral atom has the same amount of protons as electrons, therefore have no net charge.
