If the number of electrons in an atom is 8 and number of protons is also 8, then
(i) What is the atomic number of the atom? and
(ii) What is the charge on the atom?

Academic Chemistry NCERT Class 9

No. of electrons = 8

No. of protrons = 8

(i) Atomic number = No. of protrons = 8

(ii) As Electrons = Protons

Therefore, Atom is electrically neutral (no charge)
