Under normal conditions, i.e. non-ionic, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
What else can I help you with?
What two subatomic particles do you add together to get the mass number?
The two subatomic particles you add together to get the mass number of an atom are protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge, but together they contribute to the mass of an atom.
What are two particles in an atom?
There are THREE Particles in an atom. They are;_ protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are collectively called nucleons , and are found in the nucleus of an atom . The Electrons are in energy shells outside the nucleus. The whole forms an ATOM. The protons have positive charge (+) The neutrons have zero charge(0) The electrons have negative charge (-)
What two sub-atomic particles are located in the nucleus of the atom?
The two sub-atomic particles located in the nucleus of an atom are protons and neutrons. Protons carry a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge.
Which subatomic particle distinguishes one element from another?
The number of protons in an atom determines the identity of the element.See these two related questions for more information:[http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_atomic_number_and_what_does_it_tell_you_about_the_number_of_protons_in_an_atomWhat is the atomic number and what does it tell you about the number of protons in an atom?]and[http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_find_the_number_of_protons_and_electrons_and_neutrons_in_an_atomHow do you find the number of protons and electrons and neutrons in an atom?]
What is the particles of water called?
The particles of water are called molecules, composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
Which two particles in an atom are equal of in number?
protons and electrons.
Which two particles in a atom are equal in number?
Electrons and protons.
What two particles in an atom are equal in numbers?
The number of protons and electrons in an atom are equal in numbers. Protons have a positive charge and are found in the nucleus, while electrons have a negative charge and orbit the nucleus.
What two particles in an atom always have the same number?
Protons and Electrons. Protons are positively)+) charged and electrons (-) are negatively charged. For an atom to be neutrally charged the number of protons MUST equal the number of electrons. The number of positives must equal the number of negatives. When these number are NOT equal ; loss/gain of electrons, then the atom is named an ION.
Which two subatomic particles are present in equal number in every atom of the same?
In each neutral atom of any given element, the numbers of electrons and protons are equal, as the charges in the atom must balance. Only the neutron number may vary amongst atoms of the same element.
What are the same number of these two particles in an atom?
Protons and electrons.
What two particles are equal to the atomic number?
No. of electrons and no. of protons are equal to atomic no. Since, protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged They cancel each other's charge and hence, the atom is neutral as a whole.
Total number of particles in the nucleus is called what?
There are two types of particles in the nucleus of an atom, which are the Protons and the Neutrons. The number of particles in the nucleus depends what is the element. For example, Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in the nucleus and Phosphorus has 15 protons and 16 neutrons in the nucleus.
Are valence electrons the number of protons?
Only for hydrogen and helium are these two numbers the same. All other elements have at least two non-valence electrons, and the total number of electrons must be equal to the number of protons. Therefore, in all elements except hydrogen and helium, the number of valence electrons is less than the number of protons.
What will happen to an atom is an alpha particles emits or adds?
Alpha particles are emitted from the atom taking with it 2 protons and (I am pretty sure) two neutrons. This will change the atomic number of the atom and the atomic weight.
Which two particles in an atoms are equal in number?
Under normal conditions, i.e. non-ionic, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
What two subatomic particles must be the same to a maintain a neutral atom?
The question is a bit fuzzy, but I'll interpret it to mean what two particles need to be present in the same numbers to maintain a neutral atom. The answer is protons (with a positive charge) and electrons (with a negative charge). The charges for each are equal and opposite, so when they are balanced in equal numbers, the atom is electrically neutral.
