Answer: It has equal number of protons and electrons.

Explanation: An atom is electrically neutral or has no charge because it has equal number of positive particle known as Proton and equal number of negative particle called Electron. This charges cancels each other out, making the charge on the atom to be neutral.

Answer
Same amount of protons and neutrons
Explanation
Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion.

Which scientist explained why binary stars change colors
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

This is because of scintillation ("Twinkling") as the light passes through the atmosphere of the Earth. As the air moves in and out, the starlight is refracted, often different colors in different directions. Because of this "chromatic abberation," stars can appear to change colors when they are twinkling strongly.

Which of the following has a melting point greater than room temperature?
nikdorinn [45]
Technically, the answer is iron. Oxygen has a melting point way below zero (-219 degrees celsius), ice becomes water AT room temperature and bromine is already a liquid at room temperature. So, iron has a melting point greater than room temperature due to the fact that metals are made up of giant structures of atoms in a regular arrangement, and there are strong forces of electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and negative electrons, meaning that a lot of heat energy is required to break the bonds, i.e. a very high melting point, approx. 1500 degrees celsius. Hope this helps.

  • Heavy hydrogen commonly  known as deuterium
  • stable isotopes of hydrogen
  • gets its name from the Greek word deuterons means second.
  • has only one proton and one neutron
  • nucleus of the hydrogen's deuterium atom is known as a deuteron containing one proton and one neutron.
  • Deuterium forms chemical bonds that are stronger than regular hydrogen
  • gas deuterium is colorless
  • Deuterated water is used in Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.
  • used in the determination of the isotopologue of various organic compounds.
  • used in Infrared Spectroscopy.
