Chemistry

Effectus [21]3 years ago

To determine how many protons are present, simply know or use the following equation

X = number of protons
Y = number of electrons
Z = formal charge of the element

X - Y = Z = 0 for a neutral atom

X - Y = 2

Then to solve for x

X = Y + 2.

This means that we would need an additional 2 more protons than electrons.

What energy sources boil the water in geothermal energy
GREYUIT [131]
The steam rotates a turbine that activates a generator, which produces electricity. Many power plants still use fossil fuels to boil water for steam. Geothermal power plants, however, use steam produced from reservoirs of hot water found a couple of miles or more below the Earth's surface.

Answer:

The fact that most alpha particles went straight through the foil is because the atom is mostly empty space.

Those that passed straight through did so because they didn't encounter any nuclei.
