Why do the atoms in a piece of copper metal have no net charge?

Chemistry

Answer;

-The charges of the positive and negative copper ions cancel each other out.

Explanation;

-A normal atom has a neutral charge with equal numbers of positive and negative particles.That means an atom with a neutral charge is one where the number of electrons is equal to the atomic number.

-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. If it gains one or more electrons, it now carries a net negative charge, and is thus anionic.

Answer: The correct answer is the charges of the positive and negative copper ions cancel each other out.

Explanation:

A copper metal having no net charge means that it is a neutral atom.

A neutral atom means that total number of protons is equal to the total number of electrons.

Protons carry positive charge and electrons carry negative charge of equal magnitude.

Hence, no net charge means that the charged of positive copper ions cancel the charges of negative copper ions

Why is it better to conduct an experiment more than once?
lilavasa [31]

The first reason to repeat experiments is simply to verify results. Different science disciplines have different criteria for determining what good results are. Biological assays, for example must be done in at least triplicate to generate acceptable data. Science is built on the assumption that published experimental protocols are repeatable.


2)      The next reason to repeat experiments is to develop skills necessary to extend established methods and develop new experiments. “Practice make perfect” is true for the concert hall and the chemical laboratory.


3)      Refining experimental observations is another reason to repeat. Maybe you did not follow the progress of the reaction like you should have.


4)      Another reason to repeat experiments is to study and/or improve them in way. In the synthetic chemistry laboratory, for example, there is always a desire to improve the yield of a synthetic step. Will certain changes in the experimental conditions lead to a better yield? The only way to find out is to try it! The scientific method informs us that it is best to only make one change at a time.


5)  The final reason to repeat an extraction, chromatographic or synthetic protocol is to produce more of your target substance. This is sometimes referred to scale-up.
