Why do molecules combined into chains?
Which question did you want me to answer
Answer:
The nucleus of an atom is made up of a dense ball
of <u>protons</u> and <u>neutrons</u> surrounded by <u>electrons.</u>
Explanation:
We know that an atom consist of electrons, protons and neutrons. Neutrons and protons are present inside the nucleus while electrons are present out side the nucleus. Electron has a negative charge and is written as e⁻. The mass of electron is 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg . While mass of proton and neutron is 1.672623×10⁻²⁷Kg and 1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg respectively.
Symbol of proton= P⁺
Symbol of neutron= n⁰
The number of electron or number of protons are called atomic number while mass number of an atom is sum of protons and neutrons. The umber of protons and electrons are always equal to make the atom electrically neutral and when an atom loses its valance electron the number of protons increases and thus positive charge increased and atom form cation.
Mass =70 ( Mass of protons=1 ,Mass of neutrons =1, Mass of electron =0.0005(can be ignored))
Therefore, 40 +30=70
Charge= -2 ( it is taking in/attracting electrons to its shell) base on the proton number you are able to identify if it is attracting or releasing an electron, if the electron number is more than proton number then it is attracting therefore resulting in a negative charge vice versa for releasing an electron.
