What is the relationship between the number of protons in the nucleus and the number of electrons in the atom?
What is the relationship between the number of protons in the nucleus and the number of electrons in the atom?
- The number of protons varies based on the type of atom
- The number of protons is less than the number of electrons
- The number of protons is greater than the number of electrons
- They are equal, making the atom neutral (correct)
