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).

Talja [164]

Answer:

Oxygen atom, because the partial negative charge is localized on the oxygen atom.

Explanation:

A cation is a positive ion, so to associate with it, would be necessary a negative ion, an anion. When the water dissociates, it will form 2H^{+} and O^{-2}.

So, oxygen has a negative charge, and in the molecule, the partial negative charge because it's more electronegative. Then, oxygen will be associated with the cation.

CH3CN major species present when dissolved in water
Margaret [11]

Answer: CH₃CN and H₂O.

Explanation:

1) The spieces present in a solution may be either the molecules, in case of covalent compounds, or ions, in case of ionic compounds that dissociate (ionize).

2) Both, CH₃CN and H₂O are covalent (polar covalent) substances, so they do not ionize and the spieces in the solution are the molecules per se.

3) In solution, the molecules of H₂O will solvate the molecules of CH₃CN, meaning that H₂O molecules are able to separate the molecules of CH₃N from each other, and so every molecule of CH₃CN will end surrounded by many molecules of H₂O.

This happens because the interaction between the polar molecules of the two different compounds is strong enough to overcome the intermolecular forces between the molecules of the same compound.
