Answer:
The collision theory is defined as the rate of a reaction is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions.
Explanation:
The reacting species should collide with orientation that allows contract between the atoms that will become bonds together in the product.
The collision occurs with adequate energy to permit mutual penetration of the reacting species. The two physical factors based on the orientation and energy of collision, the following reaction with carbon monoxide with oxygen is considered.
2CO(g) + O2(g) → 2CO2 (g)
After collision between the carbon monoxide and oxygen the reaction is
CO(g) + O2(g) → CO2 (g) + O(g)
Based on the theories of chemical reaction the molecules collide with sufficient amount of energy an activated complex is formed.
If we have a neutral atom, then it has the same number protons and neutrons.
The number protons and neutrons for neutral atom shows atomic number.
"A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20" means that atom has 20 protons (that give charge "+ 20" ) and 20 electrons (that give charge "-20").
Answer is 20 electrons.
