Question

If the number of electrons in an atom is 8 and number of proton is also 8 then what is the atomic number of the atom and what is the charge on the atom

Answer 1

:(i) The atomic number is equal to the number of protons. Therefore, the atomic number of the atom is 8.

(ii) Since the number of both electrons and protons is equal, therefore, the charge on the atom is 0.

Answer 2

Heya user ,
Here is your answer !!

The number of electrons in an atom is 8 and number of proton is also 8 .

So , atomic number = 8 ..... [ Ans ]
...... as the atomic number depends on the number of protons present in the atom .

Charge on the atom = 0 .
Since , the number of electrons and protons are exactly the same .... [ Ans ]

Hope it helps you !!
