The total number of electrons in a neutral atom of every element is always equal to the atom's

Chemistry

Answer:

3.  number of protons

Explanation:

In a neutral atom, the total number of electrons in such an atom is equal to the number of protons.

There are three fundamentally known sub-atomic particles in an atom. They are:

Protons which are positively charged and are contained in the nucleus

Neutrons which do not carry any charges

 Electrons which are negatively charged.

Both of protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus.

Atoms are charged by gaining of losing electrons.

When an atom gains electrons, they become negatively charged and the number of electrons in them becomes more than that of protons.

When they lose electrons, they become positively charged as the the number of protons is more.

Neutral atoms have equal number of protons and electrons in them.

Which of these is a chemical property? color, compressibility, heat of combustion, malleability
Flauer [41]
Chemical changes only happen when the object changes form. Color is a physical property because you're not changing the object that you have, compressibility is also a physical property because you still have the same substance before and sfter, malleability again is another physical. Heat of combustion is physical, when you burn things it changes the substance. :)

Characteristics of an atom
Doss [256]

Answer:

It is composed of protons, which have a positive charge, and neutrons, which have no charge. Protons, neutrons, and the electrons surrounding them are long-lived particles present in all ordinary, naturally occurring atoms. Other subatomic particles may be found in association with these three types of particles.

Explanation:

Atoms consist of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).

B) Explain the importance of photosynthesis for plants.​
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Green plants and trees use photosynthesis to make food from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water in the atmosphere: It is their primary source of energy. The importance of photosynthesis in our life is the oxygen it produces. Without photosynthesis there would be little to no oxygen on the planet.
