For the atom to be neutral, it must have the same number of electrons and protons. The aromic number indicates the number of protons. Since Carbon has 6 protons, it would have to have 6 electrons for it to be neutral

The correct answer is B. 6

Explanation:

Each atom of an element is composed of a certain amount of protons, electrons, and neutrons. In the case of electrons, the number of electrons is the same as the protons in the case of atoms that are neutrally charged. Additionally, the atomic number of an atom indicated the number of electrons in it and the atomic mass the number of electrons and protons together.

This means by knowing the number of protons which in this case is 6 (Atomic number) and the atomic mass which is 12 it is possible to determine the number of electrons. Either because the number of electrons is the same that the number of atoms which means is 6 or the atomic mass minus the protons are the number of electrons, which is also 6 (12-6 = 6).

Debora [2.8K]

Answer: Option 1 and 11

1. Organic solvents are often flammable.

II. Organic solvents are often toxic.

Explanation:

Organic solvents are often flammable and Organic solvents are often toxic are the reasons why organic chemistry is a primary target of green chemistry because green chemistry is the use of principles or approach to remove hazardous or toxic substances from chemical.profuctd or processes to make them fit or safe for use and the solvents of organic chemist are toxic, therefore green chemistry remove the toxic substances.

Atoms are composed of a central nucleus which is surrounded by orbiting
ad-work [718]

Answer:

            Atoms are composed of a central nucleus which is surrounded by orbiting <u>Electrons</u>.

Explanation:

                   The word Atom is derived from atomos meaning indivisible particle. An atom is a very small sized particle and its size is approximately 100 picometers.

                    Atoms are composed of a Nucleus which contains protons and neutrons and the nucleus is surrounded by orbiting electrons. Also, the nucleus is positively charged due to +ve protons and the electrons revolving around nucleus are -vely charged making overall atom neutral in nature.

                   Atoms react with another atoms due to the presence of valence electrons present in the valence shell of an atom. The valence electrons would make a covalent bond by mutually sharing the electrons or it may form an ionic bond by gaining and loosing valence electron.

Calculate the number of joules released when 72.5 grams of water at 95.0 degrees Celsius cools to a final temperature of 28.0 de
Airida [17]
Water's specific heat capacity is 4200 J/Kg°C
95-28=67
72.5grams in kg is 0.0725kg
Energy = 67×0.0725×4200
Energy = 20,401.5 J or 20.4015 kJ
