What number of particles in an atom usually equals the number of protons?
Unless it is an ion, the number of electrons will equal the number of protons.
In the normal atom do the electrical charges of the proton balance the electrical charges of the neutron?
Not exactly. Though it IS true that in a normal atom, the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of neutrons, to make the atom electrically neutral (non-ionic), the number of protons (positively charged particles) must equal the number of electrons (negatively charged particles) that surround the nucleus.
What does the number of protons in a atom equal?
Atoms that are neutral must have equal numbers of protons and electrons. This is because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. Thus, for the charge to be neutral, the numbers of these particles must be equal.
What is the relationship between the atomic number and the electrons in neutral atom?
In a neutral atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. And by definition the atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in it. So the atomic number of a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons or the number of electrons in the atom.
What is equal the number of protons in an atom?
The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number.
Which to particles in an atom are equal in number?
The protons and electrons are equal in number in a neutral atom
Which two particles in an atom are equal of in number?
protons and electrons.
Which two particles in a atom are equal in number?
Electrons and protons.
What two particles in an atom always have the same number?
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.
What are the particles that make a atom including the atomic number and mass number?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom (which equal the number of electrons present) The atomic mass is the number of protons+neutrons in an atom
What number of particles in an atom usually equals the number of protons?
Unless it is an ion, the number of electrons will equal the number of protons.
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.
What does the atomic number of an element say about the number of particles in atoms of that element?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and neutrons in a neutral atom.
In the normal atom do the electrical charges of the proton balance the electrical charges of the neutron?
Not exactly. Though it IS true that in a normal atom, the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of neutrons, to make the atom electrically neutral (non-ionic), the number of protons (positively charged particles) must equal the number of electrons (negatively charged particles) that surround the nucleus.
What are chemical substances that break apart into electronically charged particles?
Ions. An ion is an atom in which the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons.
What two particles in an atom are equal in numbers?
The number of protons and electrons in an atom are equal in numbers. Protons have a positive charge and are found in the nucleus, while electrons have a negative charge and orbit the nucleus.
Which 2 particles in an atom are equal?
electrons and protons
