If two protons and two neutrons are added to the nucleus of a carbon atom, what nucleus does it become?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Shkiper50 [21]3 years ago
5 0
If two protons are added to carbon, the chemical identity changes to oxygen, which is two spaces over horizontally on the periodic table. The number of protons is what we call the atomic number (Z), and this is what defines the identity of an element. Since we also added two neutrons, this is simply oxygen, or oxygen-16, the most abundant isotope of oxygen.

vazorg [7]

Answer:

neither accurate nor precise

Explanation:

Accuracy is the ability to give the same result on different measurements made under the same conditions or to give the desired result accurately, therefore, as observed in the image, the results are not accurate, since they are all different.

They are not precise either, since the precision is the degree of agreement between the independent results of a measurement, obtained under stipulated conditions, be it repeatability, reproducibility or intermediate.

Why does the lithium atom develop a positive charge?​
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

A lithium atom has 3 protons and 3 electrons. It can lose one of its electrons, making it an ion. It now has more positive protons than electrons so it has an overall positive charge. Therefore it is a positive ion.

Explanation:

Lithium, an alkali metal with three electrons, is also an exception to the octet rule. Lithium tends to lose one electron to take on the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas, helium, leaving it with two valence electrons.
