Since all atoms have negatively charged electrons, shouldn’t every sample of matter have a negative charge ? Explain

The three sub-atomic particles that made up an atom are electron, proton and neutron. The proton and neutron are present in the nucleus of an atom whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus in the orbits. The atoms are electrically neutral that is they have no charge due to the presence of equal number of protons (which is positively charged) and electrons (which is negatively charged).

All the atoms have negatively charged electrons which are counter balanced by the presence of equal number of protons in the nucleus of an atom and thus, the element is neutral in nature and possess no charge.

Hitman42 [59]
The unit pg stands for pictogram. It is one-trillionth of a gram. Because of the very small mass, it is expressed in the prefix form of the base units for convenience. Now, the mass of cofactor a is 41.5 pg per cell. Since there are a total of 105 cells, the total mass would be:

Total mass = 105 cells * 41.5 pg/cell = 4,357.5 pg

According to the law of conservation of mass, if an element A has an atomic mass of 2 mass units and element B has an atomic mas
LenaWriter [7]
The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed. Since we have 2 g/mol of A and 3 g/mol of B then AB should be equal to the sum of their molar mass that is 

2 g/mol + 3 g/mol = 5 g/mol AB

for the case of A2B3

A2 = 2 * 2 = 4 g/mol
B3 = 3 * 3 = 9 g/mol

therefore A2B3 = 13 g/mol

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 30 and its mass number is 70?
Yanka [14]
The answer is 40.

We can solve this by finding out the number of protons, and neutrons. Atomic number of an element means the number of protons in that element. So, the atom has 30 protons if the atomic number is 30.

On the other hand, mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons, but not electrons, because they're too light comparing to the other 2. Therefore, we can simply solve the number of neutrons in the atom by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. 70 - 30 = 40.

Therfore, the number of neutrons is 40.

Down a group, the electron shielding tends to________
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

A

Explanation The number of energy levels (n) increases, and so does the distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. The increased distance and the increased shielding weaken the nuclear attraction, and so an atom can't attract electrons as strongly.
