An atom has the same number of protons and electrons in order to maintain a neutral charge value for the atom. Otherwise it would attract or release electrons in order to achieve a neutral charge value.
A neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons.
This relationship is for an atom and its ion.
The number of protons determines the element, and is the same as its atomic number.
The bigger number (Atomic mass) is the amount of protons (=same amount of electrons unless specified) and nutrons in an atom. The smaller number (atomic number) is the amount of protons only
Protons are the positively charged particles found in the nucleus of the atom.
A neutral atom has the same number of protons (positive particles) and electrons (negatrive particles).
Protons and electrons.
A neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons.
An atom has the same number of electrons and protons. Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus.
Protons and Electrons. Protons are positively)+) charged and electrons (-) are negatively charged. For an atom to be neutrally charged the number of protons MUST equal the number of electrons. The number of positives must equal the number of negatives. When these number are NOT equal ; loss/gain of electrons, then the atom is named an ION.
Protons and electrons, given the number of protons and neutrons can vary!
This relationship is for an atom and its ion.
An atom, of any element, has three different particles in its construction. They are protons, Neutrons and electrons. The protons are positively(+) charged, the neutrons have no charge, and the electrons have negative(-) charge. The protons and neutrons are found un the nucleus of the atom, and are collectively named as nucleons. The electrons are found in energy shells surrounding and outside the nucleus. Any one element has its own characteristic number of protons and electrons. Taking carbon as an example. It has six(6) protons and six(6) electrons. As another example, oxygen has eight( 8) protons and eight (8) electrons. et.seq.,
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.
The number of electrons in an atom is determined by the atomic number of the element, which is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus. Electrons are negatively charged particles that balance the positive charge of protons in an atom.
The number of protons determines the element, and is the same as its atomic number.
Same number of protons; different number of neutrons. The number of electrons will also be the same, assuming a neutral atom.
