Answer:

26 protons, 26 electrons, 30 neutrons

Explanation:

Let P = protons, N = neutrons, E = electrons

The mass number of an atom is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom.

The number of neutrons is the difference between the mass and atomic numbers of the atom

Therefore, 56 = P + N

where N = 56 - 26

N = 30

That means the number of neutrons is 30

To find P, 56 = P + N, N being 30

56 is now P + 30

56 = P + 30

56 - 30 = P

P = 26

Now, for an atom in its neutral state, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons

Therefore, E is also 26

In an era of bad harvests, famine, and rioting, the French government took steps to improve the worsening financial crisis. What
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The government raised taxes

Explanation:

France had monarchy as its form of government. After the King of France had borrowed heavily to retain his extravagant lifestyle as well as the fact that the Kingdom of France was largely indebted, the king had no other option but to increase taxes paid by commoners in France.

This happened in an era of bad harvests and famine. The commoners depended mostly on bread to survive. This made the cost of bread to alarmingly increase and most people were hungry and starving.

These happenings led to the French revolution.

A chemical equation does not give information about what
Lana71 [14]

A chemical equation does not give information about the following:

  • It usually does not give the "state of the substances". There are three states: Solid(s), liquid(q) and gas(vap).
  • The chemical equation does not show whether it is complete or incomplete.
  • The "speed of the reaction" is not mentioned.
  • The "concentration of the substance" whether it is diluted or concentrated is not mentioned.
  • The "rate of the reaction", temperature, catalyst, pressure etc is not mentioned. These can be mentioned "above or below the arrow".

What do all atoms of the same element have
nordsb [41]

Answer:

All atoms of the same element have always have the same amount of protons.

Explanation:

Atoms of the same element have always have the same amount of protons but not always the same electrons and neutrons. If an atom gains or loses one of its valance electrons, the electrons on the outermost shell, then it becomes ionized. Also not all atoms of the same element have the same amount of neutron. This is called an isotope. A good example would be Carbon 13. Normally, Carbon atoms have an atomic mass of 12 AMU or 12 atomic mass units. However, Carbon atoms have an atomic mass of 13 AMU, consisting of 7 neutrons instead of 6 neutrons. So the only thing that all atoms of the same element have in common is the amount of protons.
