No. of electrons and no. of protons are equal to atomic no.

Since, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged They cancel

each other's charge and hence, the atom is neutral as a whole.

The atomic number is the same as the number of these two particles?

The "Atomic number" of an element corresponds to the number of only the protons in the nucleus of its atoms. Add to that the number of neutrons that are also in there, and you have the "Atomic weight".

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 happend to the atomic number of an element which emits alpha particle and two beta particle?

THe atomic number would decrease by 2 as alpha particle comes out. But for two beta particles the atomic number would increase by 2. So the atomic number remains unchanged due to emission of one alpha followed by 2 beta particles.

What two subatomic particles match the atomic number on the periodic table?

Protons and electrons match the atomic number on the periodic table. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom, which also determines its chemical identity. Electrons balance the positive charge of protons in an atom, making it electrically neutral.


Which two particles in an atoms are equal in number?

Under normal conditions, i.e. non-ionic, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
