Most stable types of nuclei have an number of protons and an number of neutrons?
4 protons and 4 neutrons
How do you determine the number of electrons that an atom normally have?
by the atomic number which determines the number of protons. a stable atom will have an equal number of electrons as protons. if there are more or less, it is an ion
How do the numbers of protons and neutrons compare in stable atoms?
The majority of stable atoms have slightly more neutrons than protons, but the numbers are similar. The biggest exception is hydrogen, which has a stable isotope having one proton and no neutrons. Many of the lighter elements have stable isotopes in which the number of protons and the number of neutrons is the same. But as the elements get heavier, we increasingly find that stable isotopes have more neutrons than protons. This is an understandable pattern. Protons, all of which have a positive charge, repel each other. It is the neutrons which act as a kind of nuclear glue, holding the nucleus together against the repulsive force that protons exert on each other. As the nucleus gets bigger, more neutrons are needed to hold it together.
When atoms have the best balance of protons and neutrons the what is more stable?
When atoms have a balanced number of protons and neutrons, they are more likely to be stable. The nucleus of the atom is more stable when it has a balanced ratio of protons to neutrons, as this allows for a stronger nuclear force and reduces the likelihood of decay or instability.
What does atom have the same number of in an element?
Most atoms, in their most stable form, will have an equal number of Electrons and Protons. (Protons are Positively charged, Electrons are Negatively charged)
Most stable types of nuclei have an number of protons and an number of neutrons?
4 protons and 4 neutrons
How many protons in niobium?
There are 41 protons in Niobium. The atomic number is the same as the number of protons.
Why Helium with equal number of protons and neutrons is stable but Deuterium does not?
On the contrary, deuterium is stable.
Why the proton number is always stable?
Protons are within the nucleus
What is an element that is equal to its number of protons and neutrons?
A stable one.
When an element has the same number of protons and electrons the element is a?
the element is stable.

Why gold is stable?
Not all isotopes of gold are stable. Getting into the details is fairly complicated, but in essence it boils down to this: certain combinations of protons and neutrons are stable, and others aren't. For gold, there are stable combinations. For some other elements, it turns out that there is no number of neutrons that can stabilize that particular number of protons (francium, for example, has no stable isotopes).
What Atomic Number represents?
The atomic number equals the number of protons in an atom, as well as the number of electrons in a stable, electrically neutral atom, it represents the identity of an element ,the simplest form of matter.
When atoms have the best balance of protons and neutrons the what is more stable?
When atoms have a balanced number of protons and neutrons, they are more likely to be stable. The nucleus of the atom is more stable when it has a balanced ratio of protons to neutrons, as this allows for a stronger nuclear force and reduces the likelihood of decay or instability.
How many neutrons and protons are in zirconium?
40 protons and 40 electrons.The most stable isotope of zirconium (Zr-91) has 51 protons.
