Which of the following statements explains why atoms are always neutral in charge

Chemistry
1 answer:
laila [671]1 year ago
6 0

Answer:

D. They have the same number of protons as electrons.

Explanation:

Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom and have a positive charge while electrons orbit around the nucleus and have a negative charge. Usually, in a neutral atom of an element, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. This is why the atom has no charge because the positive and negative charges cancel out. When an atom loses an electron its charge turns positive while when it gains an electron its charge turns negative.

33. Why does Fluorine exert a stronger pull than Chlorine on the valence electrons of another
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Fluorine is much more reactive than chlorine (despite the lower electron affinity) because the energy released in other steps in its reactions more than makes up for the lower amount of energy released as electron affinity.

A balanced chemical reaction obeys the law of...
Anit [1.1K]

Answer: (C) conservation of matter

Solution: Law of conservation of matter or mass states that' total mass of the reactants should always be equal to the total mass of the product that is the total mass is remained conserved in a chemical reaction.

A balanced chemical equation always follow this law.

For example:

2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

Mass of hydrogen = 1 g/mol

Mass of Oxygen = 16 g/mol

Total mass on the reactants = 2(2×1)+(2×16)= 36g/mol

Total mass on the product side = 2[(2×1) +16] = 36 g/mol

As,

Mass on reactant side = Mass on the product side

Therefore, a balanced chemical reaction follows Law of Conservation of mass.
