How many protons and electrons are present in a barium atom?

1 answer:

6 0

To solve this problem, we can look it up on the periodic table.

Barium has a mass number of 56, also the 56th element on the table. Mass number actually is equal to the number of protons, proton number of an element is like an ID card number, which no other elements have the same. So, the number of protons is 56.

Electrons of an atom equals to the number of proton too. So the number of electrons of barium atom is also 56. If the number of electrons is changed, the atom is no longer an atom, it'll become ions.

So yes, both answer is 56.

Answer:

no.

Explanation:

The reason this has

never happened is due to the source of magnetic fields: moving electric

charges. When electric charges (e.g. electrons) move in circles, they

produce a magnetic field. In a piece of iron, it is very easy to line up

these circles, getting all the little magnets to work together as one big

magnet.

For each of these circles, one side is the north pole and one side is the

south pole. Since each circle has two sides, each circle has a north and a

south pole. Even the smallest possible magnets (spinning electrons) have a

north and a south pole.

Answer:

Protons:

Positively charged particle

The number of these is the atomic number

All atoms of a given element have the same number of these

Neutrons:

Neutral particles

Isotopes of a given element differ in the number of these

The mass number is the number of these added to the number of protons

Explanation:

Protons (positively charged), neutrons (neutral) and electrons (negatively charged) are smaller than an atom and they are the main subatomic particles. The nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and neutrons, and the electrons are in the periphery at unknown pathways.

The Atomic number (Z) indicates the number of protons ( $P^{+}$ ) in the nucleus. Every atom of an element have the same atomic number, thus the same number of protons.

The mass number (A) is the sum of the number of protons ( $P^{+}$ ) and neutrons (N) that are present in the nucleus: A= Z + N

Isotopes are atoms of the same element which nucleus have the same atomic number (Z), and different mass number (A), it means the same number of protons ( $P^{+}$ ) and a different number of neutrons (N). For example, the oxygen in its natural state is a mixture of isotopes:

99.8% atoms with A= 16, Z=8, and N=8

0.037% atoms with A=17, Z=8, and N=9

0.204% atoms with A=18, Z=8, and N=10
