Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the given statement is true i.e.the number of protons and electrons is always the same in a neutral atom.
Detailed explanation-2: -The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number (Z).
Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, the statement is true.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mass (amu) The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is known as the atomic number, Z. It is equal to the number of electrons around the nucleus, because an atom is electrically neutral.
Detailed explanation-5: -Electrons are a type of subatomic particle with a negative charge. Protons are a type of subatomic particle with a positive charge. Protons are bound together in an atom’s nucleus as a result of the strong nuclear force. Neutrons are a type of subatomic particle with no charge (they are neutral).
