If an atom has 35 protons in the nucleus how many electrons will it have orbiting the nucleus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are actually no electrons in the nucleus of an atom. you are correct in saying that the atomic number is the same as the number of protons. The number of nuetrons is equal to the atomic mass minus the atimic number. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons and is equal to the atomic number. for example: fluorine has an atomic number of 9 and an atomic mass of 19. this means fluorine has 9 protons, 9 electrons, and 10 neutrons

OpenStudy (sreekar369):

no of protons=no of electrons=atomic number soo the given atom has 35 electrons i.e.,bromine
