Why is frying an egg an example of a chemical change
skelet666 [1.2K]
A Chemical change is any form of chemical reaction changing the state of the matter involved. When you fry an egg, you are making a reaction between the heat and the chemicals that make up the egg. Therefore once you have fried that egg, you have completed a chemical reaction. This is why it's a chemical change when you fry an egg.

HELPPPP MEEE PLEASEEE!!!!!!
MrRa [10]
Mass =70 ( Mass of protons=1 ,Mass of neutrons =1, Mass of electron =0.0005(can be ignored))
Therefore, 40 +30=70
Charge= -2 ( it is taking in/attracting electrons to its shell) base on the proton number you are able to identify if it is attracting or releasing an electron, if the electron number is more than proton number then it is attracting therefore resulting in a negative charge vice versa for releasing an electron.
