To compensate each proton (+1 charge) you need an equal amount of electrons (-1 charge for each) to get a neutral atom.
p*(+1) and e*(-1) can only be zero if p equals e .
In any neutral atom, the number of protons = the number of electrons.
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
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.
A neutral atom has the same number of protons as electrons, so a neutral atom of palladium with 46 electrons will also have 46 protons.
False. The atom that has the same number of protons as it has electrons is a neutral atom.
In any neutral atom, the number of protons = the number of electrons.
In a neutral atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The opposite charge between protons and electrons is what allows for a neutral atom.
A neutral atom of uranium has 92 electrons. This is because the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and an atom is neutral when the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. Uranium has an atomic number of 92, which corresponds to the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom of uranium.
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
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.
The number of electrons should equal the number of protons, otherwise you have an ion.
An atom is neutral when the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus. Protons are positively charged, while electrons are negatively charged. The opposite charges balance each other out, resulting in a neutral overall charge for the atom.
In an neutral atom, the number of protons and the electrons are the same
A neutral atom has the same number of protons as electrons, so a neutral atom of palladium with 46 electrons will also have 46 protons.
In a neutral atom, the number of protons and the number of electrons is the same. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. If the numbers of each are equal, then the charges cancel out to zero and the atom is neutral.
False. The atom that has the same number of protons as it has electrons is a neutral atom.
It will have 30 protons and 30 electrons if the atom is neutral.
