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).

Why do non-metal aroms form covalent bonds e.g. H2O​
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom. ... Covalent compounds tend to be soft, and have relatively low melting and boiling points.

How does classification help us to see how organisms are similar and different
Stolb23 [73]
Organisms within each group are then further divided into smaller groups. These smaller groups are based on more detailed similarities within each larger group. This grouping system makes it easier for scientists to study certain groups of organisms.

Answer:

The word "Halloween" comes from All Hallows' Eve and means "hallowed evening."

Halloween's origins can be traced back to the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain, which was held on November 1 in contemporary calendars. It was believed that on that day, the souls of the dead returned to their homes, so people dressed in costumes and lit bonfires to ward off spirits.
