Helium - 4 isotope has 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
Its atomic number is 2 (the number of protons). Atomic number is the number of protons in the atom of an element and it identifies the element. All the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (same number of protons). So, all the isotopes of hellium have 2 protons.
The number 4 that identifies the helium - 4 isotope is the mass number, i.e. the number of protons plus the number of neutron. So, helium-4 isotope has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. While, other isotopes of helium have 2 protons but different number of neutrons.
The atomic number enable us to deduce the number of electrons in an atom because the atoms are neutral, which implies that the positive and negative charge are equal. Given that the magnitude of the charge of electons and protons are equal but the sign is opposed (protons are positve and electrons are negative) the number of electrons in the atom equals the number of protonts. That is why the atomic number is also the number of electrons of the atom.
Answer:B the buffer will be placed in process B
Explanation:
Buffer is the extra time added to a time estimate to keep a project on track. Since process B takes a longer time to process, the buffer will be added to prevent unforseen situations.
6.02 x 1023 atoms weigh out 63.55 grams copper.
No. of Molecules in water = 3.5mole x (6.02 x 10^23) molecules/mole = 2.107 x 10^24 molecules of H2O
The scientist that performed the cathode ray experiment leading to the discovery of electrons is J.J. Thomson.
<h3>What is a cathode ray?</h3>
A cathode ray is a tube that contains negatively charged electrode( that is the cathode) which emits electrons when heated at a low pressure.
The cathode ray was used by the scientist, J.J. Thomson to find the ratio of charge to mass (e/m) of the electrons.
Therefore, the scientist that performed the cathode ray experiment leading to the discovery of electrons is J.J. Thomson.

Whenever electrons are shared or transferred between atoms there is a chemical reaction.
The electrons that are being transferred between atoms (two or more) create new bonds, which enable the production of a new substance. This process is then known as a chemical reaction.
