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 was Byzantium made the new Roman capital? Choose three correct answers.
Alisiya [41]

Answer + Explanation:

Byzantium had a natural harbor.

Byzantium is located in one of the best natural harbors in the world, in a small peninsula in front of the strait of Bosphorus, which links the Black Sea with the Mediterranean Sea (via the Sea of Marmara and the Aegean Sea).

Rome had been destroyed by invaders.

Rome was sacked in 410 by an army of Visigoths lead by king Alaric. The sacking proved fatal for Rome, and the city would not regain its condition for over a thousand years after.

Byzantium provided greater access to trade routes.

Besides being a great port, Byzantium is also a link between Europe and the Middle East (and Asia), and the Mediterranean and the Black Seas. This means that Byzantium was at a crossroads, and had access to several trade routes.
