How many protons and electrons does a neutral atom have
Asked by admin @ in Chemistry viewed by 384 People
A neutral atom has 37 electrons. How many protons does the
atom have?
Answered by admin @
The number of protons in the given neutral atom is 37.
Explanation:
- Atom is made up of three subatomic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons.
- Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged and neutron has no charge.
- Atom is electrically neutral as it contains an equal number of electrons and protons.
- The atomic number of an atom is equal to the number of protons in an atom.
- The mass of the atom is equal to the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons.
Given:
A neutral atom with 37 electrons
To find:
The number of protons.
Solution:
Number of electrons = 37
The given atom is neutral, which means that an equal number of protons and electrons are present.
Number of protons = 37
The number of protons in the given neutral atom is 37.
