Question

If element X has 34 protons, how many electrons does it have?

Answer 1

An element always has the same number of protons and electrons. Since element X has 34 protons, it means it must also have 34 electrons.

Answer 2

It depends on the atom. Assuming the atom is neutral (no extra proton or electrons), the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.

So if element X has 34 protons, then the number of electrons is 34 too.
