A Neutral, stable atom has no charge as it has an equal number of Protons and Electrons. An Atom gains a charge by the loss or gain of electrons thus becoming an Ion. The loss of 1 or more electrons will give the atom a Positive charge (now having more Protons then Neutrons) and becomes a Positive Ion (or Cation). hope that helped

If an astronaut had a mass of 30 kg on the moon what would his mass be on earth?

Novay_Z [31]

Explanation:

A one-kilogram mass is still a one-kilogram(as mass is an intrinsic property of the object) but the downward force due to gravity, and therefore it's weight, is only one-sixth of what the object would have on the Earth. So man of mass 180 pounds weights only about 30 pounds-force when visiting the moon
