Just breaking stuff so yea that’s it
The number of protons found in the nucleus equals the number of electrons that surround it, giving the atom a neutral charge (neutrons have zero charge). Most of an atom's mass is in its nucleus; the mass of an electron is only 1/1836 the mass of the lightest nucleus, that of hydrogen.Hoped this helped
Answer:
it means positive and negative charges are equal.
Explanation:
An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.
All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.
when a neutral atom loses a electron positive charge is created because number of protons are positive charge becomes greater than negative charge.
X → X⁺ + e⁻
When a neutral atom accept the electron negative charge is created because negative charge is become greater than positive charge.
X + e⁻ → X⁻
I believe this would be an exothermic reaction, As time increases, the temperature goes up meaning the heat from the system is going into the surroundings. Which indicates an exothermic reaction.
