The number of protons in an atom is the atom's atomic number.
In a neutral atom the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons.
There is possibility of losing the electrons, but the number of protons are not loosed, except in nuclear chemistry.
So the number of protons is equal to the atom's atomic number.

Molecules of sugar are attracted to each other and form crystals. If you place sugar in water, the crystals break apart, but the

suter [353]

Answer:

Explanation:

So here's the thing . Sugar molecule is a molecular solid . It a relatively weak molecule

We all know the formula of glucose ( which is a sugar type molecule ) which is C12 H22 O 11 . This is basically bonded together by dipole dipole forces ( remember that this force of attraction is weak ) .on the other hand you have the solution ( which is usually water) .water is held by strong attraction forces known as hydrogen bonding .since this type of bonding is greater than dipole dipole forces .therefore when glucose is dropped in water . water is easily able to obercome the forces that are keeping the glucose molecule intact . therefore the molecule dissolves and breaks into pieces. Hope this helps

The size of the atoms a and the number of holes in the atoms can be used to decode the element.

<h3>What are models?</h3>

A model is a miniature depiction of reality. Molecular models often consists of boxes that contain balls which are used to represent elements. In common parlance, the color is used to show the type of element.

Apart from the color, the size of the atoms a and the number of holes in the atoms can be used to decode the element.
