40o+2 protons electrons And neurons

Chemistry
1 answer:
KatRina [158]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: There are few simple rules to follow.

(1) The atomic number is equal to the number of protons.

Z

= number of protons

(2) In neutrally charged elements, the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.  

Z

= number of protons = number of electrons (no charge)

Otherwise, positive charge means that the element lost an electron and negative charge means it gained an electron.

(3) The atomic mass is equal to the sum of the number of protons and number of neutrons.

A

= number of protons + number neutrons  

or

A

=  

Z

+ number neutrons

So if you say that  

Z

= 20 and  

A

= 40, then

A

=  

Z

+ number neutrons

40 = 20 + number of neutrons

40 - 20 = number of neutrons

Therefore,

number of neutrons = 20

Which statement about the balanced equations for nuclear and chemical changes is correct? (1 point)
iris [78.8K]

The true statement about the balanced equations for nuclear and chemical changes is; both are balanced according to the total mass before and after the change.

A basic law in science is called the law of conservation of mass. Its general statement is that mass can neither be created nor destroyed.

Both in chemical and nuclear changes, mass is involved and in both cases, the law of conservation of mass strictly applies.

This means that for both chemical and nuclear changes; total mass before reaction must be equal to total mass after reaction.

Hence, both reactions are balanced according to the total mass before and after the change.
