Answer:
b. The number of electrons
Explanation:
A "neutral atom" has a <u>neutral charge</u>. This means that <em>its charge is equal to </em><em>zero. </em>In order for the charges to cancel out each other, the atom's <em>positive charge should be equal to the negative charge. </em>These being said, the number of electrons<em> (negatively-charged)</em> is then equal to the number of protons <em>(positively-charged). </em>Those atoms which are not neutral are called <em>"ions."</em> This means that they either have more or less electrons than the protons.
Answer:
Ionic or electrovalent bonds
Explanation:
Ionic or electrovalent bonds are interatomic or intramolecular bonds which are formed between two kinds of atoms having a large electronegativity difference usually 2.1.
Electronegativity is the property that combines the ability of an atom to gain or lose electrons. It is expressed as the tendency with which atoms of elements attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.
In this bond type, a metal transfers its electrons to a more electronegative atom which is a non-metal.
Answer:
D) There must be equal number of atoms of each elements on both sides of equation.
Explanation:
The balancing equation must have equal number of atoms of each elements on both sides of equation.
The balance equation shoes mass is conserved thus followed the law of conservation of mas.
Law of conservation of mass:
According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.
Explanation:
This law was given by french chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
For example:
In given photosynthesis reaction:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.
Its either C or D I’m stuck on this.
