Which two particles in an atom are equal in a number?
Under normal conditions, i.e. non-ionic, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
How do you determine the number of electrons in an atom?
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.
How can you calculate the number of electrons in an atom?
For a neutral atom they must have equal numbers of protons and electrons. The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element. Find the atomic number by looking at the periodic table of elements.
What do you need to build a neutral atom?
To build a neutral atom, you need an equal number of protons (positive charge) in the nucleus as there are electrons (negative charge) orbiting around it. The number of protons determines the element, so having the same number of electrons will make the atom electrically neutral. Electrons are in different energy levels around the nucleus, and their arrangement determines the atom's reactivity and chemical properties.
If an atom has 35 electrons and its mass number is 80 calculate the number of protons?
In a neutral atom, the number of electrons will be the same as the number of protons. This is because one positive proton will cancel out one negative electron; therefore, if the atom is neutral, it must have the same number of protons and electrons.The number of protons is also the same as the atomic number. For this example, Bromine, with the atomic number of 35, has 35 protons.Bromine:Atomic number- 35Number of protons- 35Number of electrons- 35The mass number is the sum of the atomic number (or number of protons/electrons) and the neutrons. For this example, we know the atomic number (35) + # neutrons = mass number (80). To figure out the number of neutrons, take the mass number and subtract the number of electrons/protons/atomic number. Mass number (80) - atomic number (35) = neutrons (45).
What do you call unequal number of protons and electrons?
All atoms have the same number of protons and electrons, but an atom with a different number of protons and neutrons is called and isotope
What atom has the same number of protons and electrons?
Naturally, all elements have the same number of electrons and protons.
Do all atom have the same number of electrons or protons?
No, only atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons.
What do you call a material having atoms with the same number of electrons in orbit as the number of protons in the nucleus?
uncharged
How are the number of protons and the number of electrons related?
They are the same.
Do protons and electrons have the same number?
Yes, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons. The number of protons is also equal to the number of electrons
What Does the number of protons always equal to?
No An atom may have less, the same, or more neutrons than protons. The number of neutrons determine which isotope of an element you have. You do expect the number of protons and electrons to be the same however. If an atom loses or gains an electron to cause the number of electrons and protons to be mismatched we call that an ion rather than an atom.
How many electrons versus protons in an atom?
The number of electrons should = the number of protons.
Do an isotope have extra electrons or protons?
Isotopes have the same number of protons (which determine the element) but may have a different number of neutrons. They do not have extra electrons or protons; the number of electrons in an isotope is the same as the number of protons, ensuring the overall charge is balanced.
How do you find the number of protons electrons of an element?
The atomic number of the element is the number of protons, therefore there has to be the same amount of electrons to protons.
What substance has the same number of protons and electrons?
All neutral atoms have the same number of protons and electrons as they are electrically neutral.
Two atoms will always have the same atomic number if they have the same?
Number of protons
