Question

If an atom has 26 protons in the nucleus, how many electrons will it have orbiting the nucleus?

(Please do give a clear and exact answer- This is a fill in the blanks question)

Answer 1

26 electrons
As the atom is neutral so number of positive charge is equal to number of negative charge.

Hope it helps.... :-)

Answer 2

As u know that the no. of protons in an atom is equal to the no. of electrons
so it will have 26 electrons.
