If an atom has 36 protons in the nucleus how many electrons will it have orbiting around the nucleus

In a neutral atom without any charge, The number of electrons is equal to number of protons. 
So, Number of electrons = 36

In short, Your Answer would be 36

Hope this helps!

If you have access to a periodic table, the atomic number defines the number of positive charges in the element. As a standard practice, you can also say that there are an equal number of negative charges or electrons. Your answer should be 36 electrons. The reason I say 'should' is because there are often atoms or molecules where the number of electrons are not equal to the number of protons. These are called ions. Hope that helps, good luck.
