Question

If a neutral atom has 10 neutrons and 8 electrons how many protons does it have????

Answer 1

Answer: Eight protons

Step-by-step explanation:

Electrons have a negative charge, neutrons have a neutral charge, and protons have a positive charge. If the atom is neutral, it must have the same number of electrons and protons, regardless of the number of neutrons. Because there are 8 electrons, there are 8 protons.

Answer 2

it would have 8 electrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

if it is neutral that means that there is the same amount of protons as there are electrons so that their charges cancel out.
