Answer:

The correct option is;

5 electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

The charge of the proton is equal to 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹C while the charge of one electron is -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹C

Therefore, given that the atom is to be electrically neutral, we have;

The initial charge of the atom = 5 × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹C = 8.01 × 10⁻¹⁹C

The charge of the added electron + The charge of the present proton = 0

Therefore;

The charge of the added electron + 8.01 × 10⁻¹⁹C = 0

The charge of the added electrons = 0 - 8.01 × 10⁻¹⁹C = -8.01 × 10⁻¹⁹C

The charge of one electron = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹C

The number of electrons = The charge of the added electrons/(The charge of one electron)

The number of electrons = -8.01 × 10⁻¹⁹C/(-1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹C) = 5 electrons

The number of electrons to be added = 5 electrons.

PLEASE HELP AND IF ITS WORNG I WILL BE UPSET BECAUSE THIS QUESTION IS ABOUT WILL I DIE OR LIVE
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

B/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeez better not get this wrong... anyway, to start off the total is 19 books. Adding 5 then adding 3, She returned 8 books to the 19 she checked out. Uhhhh no clear answer.

NOT the first one cause 8 isn't the total. Don't think it would be the last one cause that's no fun. So it's either the second or the third one. The third one also makes no sense cause it only includes the returns from yesterday. I'm going with the second one

968.58=200.78+76.78w
-200.78
767.8=76.78w

Which equation represents the line that passes through points (1, -5) and (3,-17)
zvonat [6]

Answer:

A) y=-6x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-17-(-5))/(3-1)

m=(-17+5)/2

m=-12/2

m=-6

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-5)=-6(x-1)

y+5=-6(x-1)

y=-6x+6-5

y=-6x+1

Question 1 options:<br><br> 3<br><br><br> 8<br><br><br> 12<br><br><br> 2.5
rewona [7]

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

(I'm assuming you're doing this the same way I learned it, if not I'm sorry if it doesn't make sense)

\frac{2}{x}=\frac{12}{15}

Cross multiply

12x=30

Divide

x=2.5

This is just one way to do the problem. An easier way is to simplify the fractions.

\frac{2}{x}=\frac{4}{5}

You can either cross multiply or figure out that 2 is half of four and simply divide 5 by 2 which will also result in 2.5
