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.
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
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.
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.
Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, but varied numbers of neutrons.
Carbon Number of Protons/Electrons: 6 Number of Neutrons: 6
not usually, a standard atom will contain the same amount of electrons and PROTONS, not neutrons
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.
Of course not. No change in neutrons. Number of electrons decrease
The number of protons and electrons is the same; the number of neutrons is different.
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.

Yes, it can, but it doesn't have to.
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.
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. ;)
They all have the same number of protons and electrons (and approximately the same number of neutrons).
Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons, but varied numbers of neutrons.
