protons and electrons.
Electrons and protons.
Protons and electrons in an atom always have the same number, which determines the atom's overall charge. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of the element, while the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.
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.
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.
Protons and electrons.
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.
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.
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.
No, valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom, while protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number.
Under normal conditions, i.e. non-ionic, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
