They are NOT. The number of electrons and the number of neutrons are not linked at all - for instance, an atom of Hydrogen has one proton and one electron and NO neutrons.

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

not usually, a standard atom will contain the same amount of electrons and PROTONS, not neutrons


Neutral atoms of the same element can differ in their number of what?

Neutrons. If the differ in electrons they are not neutral and if they differ in protons then they are no longer the same element as the number of protons determines the name of the element.


When Ca undergoes oxidation does the number of neutrons increase?

Of course not. No change in neutrons. Number of electrons decrease


How are isotopes the same and how are different?

The number of protons and electrons is the same; the number of neutrons is different.


Do all isotopes of an elements have different numbers of electrons?

No, all isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (which determines the element's identity) and therefore the same number of electrons in a neutral atom. Isotopes differ in the number of neutrons they contain.


Does carbon have the same number of protons neutrons and electrons?

Carbon has 6 protons an 6 electrons (in a neutral state). The number of neutrons is: - for 12C: 6 neutrons - for 13C: 7 neutrons - for 14C: 8 neutrons For artificila isotopes: number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number


What do Atoms of the same element have same atomic?

All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons, which is its atomic number. A neutral atom will have the same number of electrons as protons.


Can an element have the same number of electrons and neutrons?

Yes, it can, but it doesn't have to.


How do you find the mass number given the proton electrons and atomic number but not the neutrons?

The mass number of an atom is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. This is is the same as the number of electrons plus the number of neutrons since the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons in an atom.


A neutral atom has the same number of protons as it does neutrons?

no. an atom is made up of protons neutrons and electrons. protons have a charge of plus one electrons have a charge of minus one neutrons have no charge. therefore the number of protons and electrons must be equal (balancing the charges) for the atom to be neutral. ;)


What are atoms of the same element?

They all have the same number of protons and electrons (and approximately the same number of neutrons).


Isotopes have the same element but different?

Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, but varied numbers of neutrons.
