To build the largest neutral atom using protons, neutrons, and electrons, we need to focus on elements in the periodic table. A neutral atom has an equal number of protons (which determine the element's identity) and electrons (which balance the positive charge of the protons), while the number of neutrons can vary (leading to different isotopes of the same element).
The largest naturally occurring stable element is uranium (atomic number 92), which has 92 protons. To create a neutral uranium atom, you would also need 92 electrons. The number of neutrons in uranium can vary depending on the isotope, but the most common isotope, uranium-238, has 146 neutrons:
- Protons: 92
- Neutrons: 146 (for uranium-238)
- Electrons: 92
This gives you a total of 330 particles (92 protons + 146 neutrons + 92 electrons).
However, if you consider synthetic elements, element 118 (oganesson) is currently the heaviest known element. It has 118 protons, and for a neutral atom, it would also need 118 electrons. The number of neutrons has not been settled definitively for its most stable isotope, but the commonly referenced isotope oganesson-294 has 176 neutrons:
- Protons: 118
- Neutrons: 176
- Electrons: 118
This totals 412 particles (118 protons + 176 neutrons + 118 electrons).
In summary, the largest neutral atom with the highest atomic number is oganesson (Og), with 118 protons and typically 176 neutrons, amounting to a total of 412 particles.
