Question

if the number of electrons in atom is 8 and number of protons is also 8 , then what the atomic number of the atom ? and what is charge on the atom?

Answer 1

The element is oxygen.

Atomic no. of the atom = number of protons = 8

And, The charge of the atom would be 0 or neutral as there are same number of protons and electrons.

HOPE I COULD HELP !!

Answer 2

Answer:

(i) Atomic number

= Number of Protons = 8

(ii) The charge of the atom is zero, as total number of positive charge is equal to total number of negative charge.

Number of Protons = Number of Electrons

8 = 8 ,
