Why a neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex777 [14]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. ... Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.

When aqueous solutions of NH4OH(aq) and CuCl2(aq) are mixed, the products are NH4Cl(aq) and Cu(OH)2(s). What is the net ionic eq
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

2OH^-(aq) + Cu^2+(aq) -----> Cu(OH)2(s)

Explanation:

The net ionic equation usually shows the main ionic reaction that goes in the system. The other ions that do not participate in this net ionic equation are called spectator ions. Spectator ions do not participate in the main reaction occurring in the system.

The net ionic equation quite often result in the formation of a solid precipitate in the system such as Cu(OH)2.

The net ionic equation for this reaction is;

2OH^-(aq) + Cu^2+(aq) -----> Cu(OH)2(s)
