5 0
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.

What aspect of metallic bonding is responsible for malleability ductility and conductivity of metals?
ANTONII [103]
Bonds are forces of attractions between atoms formed by the transfer of electrons or sharing of electrons. Metallic bond is a type bond that exist in metallic structures where the atoms of the metals attracts the sea of electrons in the structure.It is these metallic bonds that results to the malleability , ductility and conductivity of metals because in that the sea of electrons makes them conduct electricity. In addition the atoms of metals in the structure are ions which can slide past each other in the sea of electrons.

Citrus2011 [14]
1) ionic compound


there should be motive ions or free movable electrons to conduct electricity. The ionic compounds in the solid state, has no motive ions or free electrons as the ions are tightly attracted to each other. But in liquid state, the ions separate and move freely.

Is the temperature at which a substance melts the same as the temperature changes from a liquid to a solid
sasho [114]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

If the temperature changes a substance from it's original form, going from solid to liquid, then the temperature required to change it from a liquid to a solid are the opposite. For example, Ice is Water (H2O) in it's solid form. In order to freeze water into ice, the temperature must be very low. In order to melt the ice back into water, the temperature must be higher than the freezing point, but not too high or it will boil, making it a gaseous substance instead.

What are some ways that propane, butane, gasoline, diesel, and kerosene can be compared?
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Propane and butane are pure substances, which means that each one of them is made of only one type of molecule—propane molecules or butane molecules. In contrast, gasoline, diesel, and kerosene are not pure substances; they are mixtures of more than one substance.

Explanation:
