If element X has 40 protons will it also have 40 electrons

That actually depends. Is it an atom or an ion? If it is a stable atom, it will have a neutral charge and an even number of protons and neutrons, however, noble gasses are the only independent single atoms that do not need to be bonded for this to occur in nature. Most elements are found as ions with uneven numbers of electrons and protons in order to become more stable.

Yes, atoms need to be equal in protons and electrons

A system does 506 kj of work, and loses 266 kj of heat to the surroundings. what is the change in internal energy of the system?

babunello [35]

Answer:

The change in internal energy of the system = -772kJ

Explanation:

Given :

Heat lost by the system , a = -266KJ

Workdone by the system, W = -506KJ

The first law of thermodynamics states that:

Change in internal energy = q + w

Substituting values into the equation

Change in internal energy = (-266KJ) + (-506KJ)

Change in internal energy = -722KJ

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

I do not have enough information to tell

Explanation:

This is deduced due to the fact that if the net force due to B and C on A is zero, the charges on B and C could either be positive or negative depending on the charge on A.

Find the equivalent resistance, the current supplied by the battery and the current through each resistor when the specified res

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

$R_{eq}$ = 19 Ω, I = 0.105 A, V1 = 1.05 V and V2 = 0.95 V

Explanation:

The correct way to solve this type of problem is to find the current or voltage values for the equivalent resistance and from here find the other values.

For a series circuit the equivalent resistance is the sum of the resistance

$R_{eq}$ = R1 + R2

$R_{eq}$ = 10 +9

$R_{eq}$ = 19 Ω

Let's use the equation for the voltage

V = I $R_{eq}$

I = V / $R_{eq}$

I = 2/19

I = 0.105 A

In a series circuit the current is constant, so let's use the voltage equation for each resistor

V1 = I R1

V1 = 0.105 10

V1 = 1.05 V

V2 = 0.105 9

V2 = 0.95 V

Note that the sum of this voltage is the total voltage applied.
