The number of protons plus the number of electrons isn't a recognized figure in chemistry.

The number of protons is the atomic number of an element.

The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons except when the element is an ion. An ionic compound results in one or more electrons moving from one element to another element. Although this is a simplification, it can be described as the atom gaining or losing electrons.

The number of protons plus the number of neutrons is the atomic weight of an element.

How many protons neutrons electrons in zinc2 plus?

The number of protons is 30, the number of electrons is 28, the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.


What is the number of protons neutrons and electrons of carbon 12?

Carbon-12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. The number of protons determines the element (carbon), the number of neutrons plus protons gives the mass number (12), and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons.


How many protons and electrons does Fe2 plus have?

Fe 2+ (Iron) has... 26 protons 24 electrons 30 neutrons


How do you find the number of electrons for an element?

It is the same as the number of protons if it is a neutral atom, or the number of protons plus the charge of the ion. The number of protons is the atomic number of the element.


How do you find the mass number given the proton electrons and atomic number but not the neutrons?

The mass number of an atom is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. This is is the same as the number of electrons plus the number of neutrons since the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons in an atom.


What determines an element's charge?

The number of protons and electrons in the atom. If the number of protons = number of electrons, it is electrically neutral. If number of protons > number of electrons, it is positively charged. If number of protons < number of electrons, it is negatively charged.


How do you figure out protons electrons neutrons?

Find the atomic number. That tells you the number of protons and electrons (in a neutral atom). Then find the atomic weight. The number of protons plus the number of neutrons will equal the atomic weight. So if you know the wt. just subtract the number of protons and you will have the number of neutrons.


How many proton mg2 plus have?

The number of protons is 12, the number of electrons is 10, the number of neutrons is different for each isotope.


If Chlorine has 17 protons and negative one charge how many electrons does it have?

Chlorine with 17 protons and a -1 charge has 18 electrons. This is because the number of electrons should equal the number of protons (in this case, 17) plus or minus the charge (in this case, -1).


Nobelium has an atomic number of 102 how many protons and electrons does it have?

Nobelium has 102 protons and 102 electrons, as the number of protons is equal to the atomic number, and in a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.


What is the net charge of iron with 26 protons 30 neutrons and 23 electrons?

Atomic Number: This is the number of protons an element has. Answer: 26 Atomic Mass: Ignoring electrons, which are incredibly small and don't have much of an effect on the mass... This is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons Answer: 56 (26 protons + 30 neutrons) Net Charge: Protons are positive and electrons are negative. The net charge can be found by subtracting the number of electrons from the number of protons. 0 is neutral. Answer: +3 (26 protons - 23 electrons)
