How many protons, electrons, and neutrons are present in an atom of cr-24?

An atom is the smallest unit of matter, consisting of the positively charged nucleus and the electrons which move around it. The atom can not be divided further.

The atom of a matter is made by three elements-

1) Neutron-Neutron is the element of an atom, which has zero charge.
2) Proton-Proton is the element of an atom, which has a positive charge.
3) Electron-Electron is the element of an atom, which has a negative charge.

The atom of cr-24 has the atomic number 24. The atomic number of atom is equal to the number of proton and electron in an atom. Thus,

[tex]\rm Proton=24\\\rm Electron=24[/tex]

Now, if this atom has the mass number of 52 (most common). Then the number of neutron is,

[tex]\rm Neutrons=Mass\; Number-Atomic\; Number\\\rm Neutrons=52-24\\\rm Neutrons=28[/tex]

Thus, the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons in the atom of cr-24 is 28, 24, and 24 respectively.
