Protons:
- Have a mass
- Positively charged
- Found inside the nucleus of an atom
Electrons:
- Have a mass. (9.10938188×10−31 kilograms), though this can sometimes be considered negligible due to how small that actually is. Barely factored into atomic mass
- Negatively charged
- Found outside the nucleus in the electron shell
Neutrons:
- Have a mass
- Neutral (no charge)
- Found inside the nucleus of an atom
Atom A:
- 1 proton
- 0 Neutrons
- 1 electron
- Atomic mass of 1
- Atomic number of 1
Atom B:
- 8 Protons
- 10 Neutrons
- 8 electrons
- Atomic mass of 18
- Atomic number of 8
Atomic mass includes the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Atomic number is the number of protons, as this is what defines what type of element the atom is.
Unstable, radioactive atom emits alpha and gamma ray to transform into a stable atom.
Emitting an alpha particle, decreases the mass number by four and atomic number by two.
Emitting gamma ray reduces the excess energy of the radioactive atom.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Anions are attracted to the positive end of a dipole, while the cations are attracted to the negative end. As the size of the dipole moment or the ionic charge increases, the vastness of the attraction also increases. This type of attraction is important for solutions of ionic substances in polar liquids.
Atoms must gain or lose electrons in order to become ions if they are to form ionic bonds.
