Your question asks which is an example of an atom that has no change, or charge.

Your answer would be C). 2 protons, 2 electrons, and 1 neutron

These atoms would be known as a neutral atom.

In order for an atom to be neutral, it must have the same amount of protons and electrons.

We know that Protons are positive

We also know that Electrons are negative

In order for the atom to be neutral, they must have an equal amount of protons and neutrons to "cancel out"

In answer choice C, you would see that there are 2 protons and 2 electrons.

2- 0 = 0, in which allows this atom to be neutral.

Therefore, answer choice C. 2 protons, 2 electrons, and 1 neutron would be your answer.

I think you mean an atom that has "no <u><em>charge</em></u>".  I'll assume that, and then answer the question that I just invented:

That would be the (Helium) atom described in <em>Choice-C</em> .

Each proton has 1 positive charge, and each electron has 1 negative charge. So any atom that has <u><em>equal</em></u> numbers of protons and electrons is electrically neutral ... it looks like it has no charge at all.  Choice-C is the only one on the list that has equal numbers of protons and electrons.

(Neutrons have no charge at all.  So when you're working with the total charge on the atom, the neutrons don't make any difference.)

A spring has been compressed inside a toy what kind of energy is this
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Elastic Potential Energy

Explanation:

Elastic Potential Energy (“Spring Energy”) is the form of energy an object has when it is stretched, compressed, twisted, bent, or otherwise has its shape changed as long as the object resists and will try to return to its original state.

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

As a type of thermal power station, a coal-fired power station converts chemical energy stored in coal successively into thermal energy, mechanical energy and, finally, electrical energy. The coal is usually pulverized and then burned in a pulverized coal-fired boiler.Coal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity.
