Atoms do not always contain the same number of electrons and protons, although this state is common. When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. In contrast, when an atom loses or gains an electron (or the rarer case of losing or gaining a proton, which requires a nuclear reaction), the total charges add up to something other than zero.
1 mole Fe produces 1 mole Cu
<span> molar mass of Fe is 55.8 g / mole

__ KClO₃ → __ KCl + __ O₂
Left Side:
1 K
1 Cl
3 O
Right Side:
1 K
1 Cl
2 O
Since the least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6, we need to multiply the compound with 2 oxygen by 3 and the compound with 3 oxygen by 2.
This gives us 2KClO₃ → __ KCl + 3O₂.
However, this equation is still not balanced.
Left Side:
2 K
2 Cl
6 O
Right Side:
1 K
1 Cl
6 O
In order to balance the K and Cl, we need to multiply the KCl compound on the right side by 2.
2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂
A. The atmosphere is layered
