If an atom has 5 protons and 7 electrons what is the charge of the atom?
The charge of an atom is determined by the difference between the number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). In this case, the atom has 5 protons (positive) and 7 electrons (negative), so the overall charge of the atom is -2.
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?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in an element's nucleus, so this element has an atomic number of 8. The atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, so the atomic mass of this element would be 16 (8 protons + 8 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, electrons are different from neutrons and protons. Electrons have a negative charge and orbit the atomic nucleus where protons and neutrons are found. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge.
How many protons neutrons and electron respectively does 127 Iodine with negative charge?
127 Iodine with a negative charge means it has gained an extra electron. Therefore, it has 53 protons, 74 neutrons, and 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.
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?
Aluminum has 13 protons and 14 neutrons in its most common isotope (atomic number 13), so in an aluminum ion with a +3 charge, it would have 13 protons, 10 electrons, and 14 neutrons.
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
If an atom of an element has six protons and eight neutrons how many electrons is in this atom if its neutral?
If an atom has six protons, it will have six electrons to maintain a neutral charge as the number of protons equals the number of electrons in a neutral atom. So, an atom with six protons and eight neutrons would have six electrons.
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.
Neutral atom with 53 protons in its nucleus would have how many electrons orbiting the nucleus?
A neutral atom with 53 protons in its nucleus would also have 53 electrons orbiting the nucleus. This is because the number of protons and electrons in an atom are equal, giving a neutral charge overall.
If the nucleus had seventeen protons and nineteen neutrons how many electrons would the atom have?
The number of electrons in an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus, which is 17 in this case. This ensures that the atom is electrically neutral, as the positive charge of the protons is balanced by the negative charge of the electrons.
