What is the name number tells you the amount of protons and neutrons in an element?

Number of protons + Number of neutrons = Mass number(number of nucleons)


How many protons and neutrons are in the nucleus of a helium-4 atom if it has twice as many protons as a hydrogen atom?

A hydrogen atom has 1 proton in its nucleus. Since the helium-4 atom has twice as many protons as hydrogen, it has 2 protons. Helium-4 also has 2 neutrons, hence the name "4" representing the total number of protons and neutrons.


What has to be true about the protons and the electrons on an atom that is neutrral?

In any atom,there are protons, neutrons and electrons. As the name would suggest, neutrons carry no charge. Protons carry a positive charge and electrons carry a negative charge. So in an atom that has no charge there has to be an equal number of protons and electrons.


Is an electron just a name for both neutrons and protons?

No. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of the atom. Electrons orbit the nucleus. The best way to think about an atom is to look at it as a miniature version of our solar system. The nucleus would be the sun (protons and neutrons) and the electrons would be the planets, orbiting around it.


What is the name of the positively charged particles in the center atom?

The three main particles in an atom are the protons, neutrons and electrons. Electrons orbit around the atoms where the others 'reside' in the center. Protons are positively charged where neutrons have no charge.
