Question

What do atoms have an equal number of?

Answer 1

Answer:

protons and electrons, and the number of protons and neutrons is usually the same as well.

Explanation:

Adding a proton to an atom makes a new element, while adding a neutron makes an isotope, or heavier version, of that atom.

Answer 2

Answer: Atoms do not always contain the same number of electrons and protons, although this state is common. When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons).
