If you have 5 protons and 6 neutrons, how many electrons would you add to make a neutral atom?

Mathematics

Goshia [24]3 years ago

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.

(-8) - 3y= 25<br><br>if you have time please help, thank you​
Neko [114]

(-8) - 3y= 25

-8-3y= 25

move -8 to the other side

sign changes from -8 to +8

-8+8-3y=25+8

-3y= 33

divide both sides by -3 to get y by itself

and to get +y

-3y/-3= 33/-3

Answer:

y= -11

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

THE DISTANCE OF SUB IS 5892480000000IN

1MI=63630 IN

930000000MI=93000000×63360 IN=589248000000IN

X=NUMBER OF FIREFLIES

X=0.4IN=5892480000000IN

X=58924800000000IN×0.4IN

X=147312000000000

If a $6.00 ball was bought for $5.25, what was the percentage of the discount?
andriy [413]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

x% of 6 = 5.25

\frac{x}{100} x 6 = 5.25

\frac{(5.25)(100)}{6} = x

x = 87.5 %

discount = 100 - 87.5 %

= 12.5 %
