If an atom has 5 protons and 7 electrons what is the charge of the atom?
its charge is 0. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge (neutrons have no charge at all). So ten protons will balance out ten electrons, making the net charge 0.
What would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?
If the number of protons and electrons in an object are not equal, it will have a net charge and become an ion. If there are more protons than electrons, the object will have a positive charge; if there are more electrons, it will have a negative charge. This imbalance in charge can lead to interactions with other charged objects.
What would happen to atom if the number of protons changes Neutrons Electrons?
If the number of protons changes, the atom becomes an entirely different element. Changing the number of neutrons creates isotopes of the same element, which can have different properties. Changing the number of electrons alters the atom's charge, turning it into an ion.
Does the sum of the protons in an atom equal the sum of the electrons?
Protons minus neutrons doesn't mean anything in chemistry. Protons plus neutrons gives the mass number. Protons minus electrons gives you the charge of an atom(ion). The number of protons are equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom and the proton number is equivalent to the atomic number.
If an element has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus and 8 electrons revolving around the nucleus What is the atomic number and atomic mass of this element?
In neutral atoms (with the same number of protons and electrons), the number of protons and electrons equal the atomic number. If our atom has 9 electrons, is neutral, and therefore has 9 protons, it is element #9: Flourine, which has an atomic mass of 19: 9 protons plus 10 neutrons.
What has to be true about the protons and the electrons on an atom that is neutrral?
In any atom,there are protons, neutrons and electrons. As the name would suggest, neutrons carry no charge. Protons carry a positive charge and electrons carry a negative charge. So in an atom that has no charge there has to be an equal number of protons and electrons.
Is an electron just a name for both neutrons and protons?
No. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of the atom. Electrons orbit the nucleus. The best way to think about an atom is to look at it as a miniature version of our solar system. The nucleus would be the sun (protons and neutrons) and the electrons would be the planets, orbiting around it.
How many protons neutrons and electron respectively does 127 Iodine with negative charge?
Iodine has 53 protons. Iodine 127 has 74 neutrons. With a negative charge, it would have an extra electron, meaning it would have 54 electrons.
If an atom has 18 protons 15 neutrons and 22 electrons what is the atoms electrical charge?
If an atom has 15 protons 12 neutrons and 16 electrons, the neutrons have absolutely nothing to do with the electrical charge. Having one more electron than protons would determine the electrical charge of the atom. The atom would have a charge of -1. The extra electron would give it a negative charge.
If the number of protons exceeds the number of neutrons is the charge on the atom positive or negative?
If the number of protons exceeds the number of neutrons, the atom itself is neutral in charge because protons are positively charged and neutrons are neutral. However, if you're referring to charged particles, an excess of protons (compared to electrons) would result in a positive charge for the atom, making it a cation. In summary, an atom's charge is determined by the balance between protons and electrons, not neutrons.
What is the charge on an atom that has five protons nine neutrons and seven electrons?
It would have a negative charge, since the number of electrons - that have approximately the same amount of negative charge as the proton's positive charge in magnitude - is more than the number of protons. Neutrons have no charge (i.e. neutral).
How man protons and neutrons does aluminum ion Al 3?
13 protons and 14 neutrons. The fact that its an ion doesn't change that ... only the number of electrons.
If neutrons are found in the nucleus what charge will be on the nucleus?
Neutrons have zero charge, so a nucleus with 5 protons and 5 neutrons has the same charge as a nucleus with 5 protons and 6 neutrons: the charge on both is +5.Electrons have a negative charge, so if you had 5 protons, 5 neutrons and 5 electrons, the net charge would be 0. (But electrons aren't found inside the nucleus; they "orbit" around it. Their "orbits" are crazy complicated and aren't exactly orbits the way planets have--but that's a different question.)
If an atom has 15 protons 13 neutrons and 18 electrons what is the atom's electrical charge?
the nucleus always has a positive charge. The atom on the other hand in its singular state will have no charge as the electrons negative charge counter the protons positive charge. in this example there will be 31 electrons The element would be Gallium but there are not enough neutrons in your question to even make a viable isotope. Gallium typically has 31 protons and 39 neutrons
Neutral atom with 53 protons in its nucleus would have how many electrons orbiting the nucleus?
For a standard atom, the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons is the same. For example: 2 Protons - 2 Neutrons - 2 Electrons Helium 3 Protons - 3 Neutrons - 3 Electrons Lithium 4 Protons - 4 Neutrons - 4 Electrons Beryllium So... 53 Protons - 53 Neutrons - 53 Electrons Iodine
If an atom has 19 protons and 20 neutrons how many electrons would it have?
Electrons carry a negative charge and protons carry a positive charge. Therefore, if an atom is to be neutral it must have equal numbers of protons and neutrons. Consequently, if an atom has 19 protons and is neutral it must have 19 electrons.
If an atom of an element has six protons and eight neutrons how many electrons is in this atom if its neutral?
When we consider charged particles, we are only concerned with protons and electrons. Neutrons have no charge, so they don't contribute to a positive or negative charge. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. They are both equally positive and negative, that is to say one proton cancels out the charge of one electron. So as long as there are equal numbers of protons and electrons, the particle will be neutral. If there are six protons, then there needs to be six electrons in order to be neutral.
