Answer:
Explanation:
A. The charge on an element is determined by the differences between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.
An atom will have no charges if the number of protons and electrons are the same.
- When an atom loses or gains electrons, the number of electrons will either decrease or increase
- if the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the excess electrons is the charge on the atom. And this makes the atom become a negatively charged ion.
- if the number of electrons is lesser than the number of protons, the deficient electrons makes the atom a positively charged ion. The number of electrons by which the atom is deficient makes the atom a positively charged ion.
Charge = number of protons - number of electrons
B. Electrons form the charges they do because with the charge, they become stable like the noble gases.
The desire of every atom is to have stable electronic configuration like those of the noble gases.
A potassium atom with a configuration 2 8 8 1 will prefer to lose an electron to become an Argon atom making the ion stable.
Mixtures or combinations of various different metals or metallic substances form things called alloys. An alloy composed of mercury and other metal (or metals) forms "amalgam". When a true alloy is created, the component metals are combined together at a temperature which is greater than the melting point of all of them.
Also, it helps to remember the word "amalgamate", which means "to alloy (a metal) with mercury" according to Dictionary.com.
Hope this helped :)

A substance that is impenetrable by x-rays is described as being radiopaque.
Radiopaque substances will not allow x-rays and or other forms of radiations to pass through them.
Instead, they absorb or block the rays and when used in radiology, they appear white or light gray on photographic films.
Radiopaque materials are applied in generating ultrasound images and other forms of clinical procedures.

It obtains a neutral pH (7). The combination of a strong acid and a strong base results in a neutral pH. The pH of HCl is about 1, and the pH of NaOH is 14.
Below are the order of the units from largest to the smallest:<span>
m^3 = meters and is 1 meter^3 is equal to 1000 liters
L = Liters and 1 liter is equal to 10 deciliter
dL = decilter, 1 deciliter is equal to 10 centiliter
cL = centiliter, 1 centiliter is equal to 10 mililiter
mL = mililiter, 1 militer is equal to </span><span>1000.000 µl</span>
µl = micorlitre
