Answer: 55

Explanation: A atom consists of a nucleus  and electrons.Nucleus contain neutrons with no charge and protons with positive charge. The electrons bearing negative charge revolve around the nucleus.

An electrically neutral atom contains equal number of protons and electrons. Thus if a neutral element X contains 55 protons, it also contains 55 electrons.

If the element has 55 protons it is celcium and it also has 55 electrons. It has an atomic mass of 133 (132.9) so to get the number of neutrons you subtract the atomic mass and the number of protons.

Why do some atoms form positive ions and others form negative ions?
kenny6666 [7]
It depends on the location on the periodic table and if it is easier to loose are gain electrons to fill the valence electron shell.

The electron affinity of the neutral atom of the element can show indicate whether or not the element is going the make positive or negative ions.  The higher the electron affinity is, the more the neutral atom wants to gain electrons.  The electron affinity for alkali metals and alkaline earth metals are low due to the fact that they are located on the left of the periodic table and only needs to loose 1 or 2 electrons to have a completed valence shell.  That means that they want to form cations (loose electrons).  Halogens have a high electron affinity since they are located on the right of the periodic table and only have to gain 1 electron to get a completed valence electron configuration.  That means that it forms anions.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
