What is needed to build a neutral atom?

To build a neutral atom, you need an equal number of protons and electrons. Protons, which have a positive charge, are found in the nucleus of the atom, while electrons, which have a negative charge, orbit around the nucleus. Neutrons, which are neutral particles, can also be present in the nucleus, but they do not affect the atom's overall charge. The balance between protons and electrons ensures that the atom has no net charge, making it neutral.

Design a neutral stable atom using the simulator build an atom on the phet website with a mass of 8 what is the number of protons electrons and neutrons in the atom?

To design a neutral stable atom with a mass of 8, you could create an oxygen atom. An oxygen atom has 8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons, which gives it a mass number of 16. This configuration ensures the atom is neutral and stable.

How many electrons do atoms need to be neutral?

It depends entirely on what type of atom it is. (Neutral atom is redundant. A "non-neutral" atom is referred to as an ion) If it is an atom of carbon, for example, there are 6 electrons. Silicon, on the other hand, has 14 electrons.
