Question

Anatom of an element has no electron,will that atom have any mass or not? Can antom exist

Answer 1

Answer:

Generally, all atoms of elements contain three sub-atomic particles- Protons(Positively-charged), Neutrons(Neutral) and Electrons(Negatively-charged).

The Magnitude of the Positive Charge possessed by the Protons and the Magnitude of the Negative Charge possessed by the Electrons cancel each other, which make the atom electrically neutral.

Hence,

Without any electrons, the magnitude of the positive and negative charges wouldn't balance, and the atom would be unstable and disintegrate almost immediately. Hence, all stable atoms should have electrons revolving around them, where the number of protons and electrons are the same, under normal conditions.

To Conclude,

Every atom of an element will have electrons arranged in different shells, or matter couldn't exist without electrons.
