Atoms do not always contain the same number of electrons and protons, although this state is common. When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. In contrast, when an atom loses or gains an electron (or the rarer case of losing or gaining a proton, which requires a nuclear reaction), the total charges add up to something other than zero.
Answer:
Grams of mercury= 0.06 g of Hg
Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:
A compact fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury. How many grams of mercury would be contained in 15 compact fluorescent light bulbs?
Explanation:
Since one fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury,
15 such bulbs will contain 15 * 4 mg of mercury = 60 mg
1 mg = 0.001 g
Therefore, 60 mg = 0.001 g * 60 = 0.06 g of mercury.
Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) are tubes containing mercury and noble gases. When electricity is passed through the bulb, electron-streams flow from a tungsten-coated coil. They collide with mercury atoms, exciting their electrons and creating flashes of ultraviolet light. A phosphor coating on the inside of the tube absorbs this UV light flashes and re-emits it as visible light. The amount of mercury in a fluorescent lamp varies from 3 to 46 mg, depending on lamp size and age.
Electron because it’s more valid than neutron
Answer: element.
Justification:
1) A molecule is the union of two or more atoms.
2) When two or more atoms of different elements bond together, the molecule formed is a compound.
For example: one atoms of hydrogen and one atom of chlorine form the molecule HCl, which is a compound (hydrogen chloride).
3) When the molecules is formed by two atoms of the same element, it is not called a compound, but element. Some examples of this are the diatomic gases:
H₂: hydrogen
Cl₂: chlorine
Br₂: bromine
O₂: oxygen
S₂: sulfur
N₂: nitrogen.

You have OH- conc = </span>2.3 ✕ 10−6 m
From the formula, you can observe the ratio of Cu2+ to OH- is 4 : 6 = 2:3
So, for 2.3 ✕ 10−6 m OH-
[Cu2+] =
