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.

#5.) Explain why the rock cycle is referred to as a "cycle".

Natalka [10]

The rock cycle is referred to as cycle because it repeats over and over again. The definition of cycle is a series of events that are regularly related in the same order. So with the rock cycle they stay in the same order and repeat.
