Which two subatomic particles are present in equal numbers in an atom?
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 two particles in an atom always have the same number?
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.
An atom has the same number of which two particles?
An atom has the same number of electrons and protons. Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus.
What two subatomic particles are in the nucleus of the atom?
Proton and neutron.
Are valence electrons the number of protons?
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.
