The atomic number is the number of protons. If the atomic number is 30, then the atom will have 30 protons.

Hi ;)
First of all, The number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom.Since we have 30 protons and 30 electrons ,the positive charge on the proton is cancelled by the negative charge on the electron leaving a neutral atom.

Positive 30 and negative 30 equals 0.

Therefore , that atom would have 30 protons .

What is the proper battery cable connection when jumping two automotive batteries? (a) negative to negative / positive to positi

Vladimir [108]

The proper battery cable connection when jumping two automotive batteries is : (a) negative to negative / positive to positive.

Connect the red (positive) cable from the car with the bad battery to the red (positive) on the good battery. 

Then connect the black (negative) from the good battery to a grounding point on the other car which should be tightened and metal should be clean.

Once the car with bad battery has started, the removal of the cable should be in the opposite order. The Red (positive) which was the the First Cable to go on should be the last cable to be taken off.
