What must a neutral atom with four protons contain?

A neutral atom must contain an equal number of electrons because it is a neutral atom.


If a neutral atom has 8 protons it must have how many electrons?

The atom must have 8 electrons to make it have a neutral charge


How many electrons in a neutral atom of Xenon?

The atomic number of Xenon is 54. This means the atom contains 54 protons. In order to form a neutral atom, the positive charge from the protons and the negative charge from the electrons must cancel out. In order to be neutral the atom must have 54 electrons.


The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atoms must always what?

Is an atom that has the same number of protons as neutrons a neutral atom?

False. The atom that has the same number of protons as it has electrons is a neutral atom.


A neutral atom with an atomic number 92 must have?

This atom is uranium; 92 protons, 92 electrons and a variable number of neutrons depending on the isotope.


What is the atomic number of an neutral atom witt 22 electrons and 26 neutrons?

22: The atomic number is defined as the number of protons in the atom, but since the atom is neutral, the number of protons must be the same as the number of electrons.


In a neutral atom the number of electrons equals the number of what?

The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.


Is the number of electrons in an atom must equal the number of neutrons?

No. For an atom to be neutral (no charge, not an ion) the number of electrons must equal the number of protons. Usually the number of electrons is very close to the number of protons though.


In an atom what numbers have to be equal?

An atom must have the same number of electrons and protons to have a neutral charge.


What must be true of the number of protons and the number of electrons in an atom if the atom has no charge?

The number of protons must equal the number of electrons in an atom for it to have no charge. Protons are positively charged particles, and electrons are negatively charged particles. A balanced number of protons and electrons results in an atom with a neutral overall charge.


In an atom the number of electrons must be the same as the number of?

protons, because the protons are positive and the electrons are negative so to have a neutral atom the protons and electrons must be balanced
