Why must each atom of an element always have the same number of protons?

Chemistry

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.

For your 13th answer in #4, what is the other name for this particle?
solong [7]

Answer:

The First layer is the troposphere. The troposphere is what we live in. It creates weather for us. Second layer is the Stratosphere. You will find the ozone layer in it. The ozone layer helps protect us from ultraviolet radiation (UV) from the sun. In fact, the ozone layer absorbs most of the UV radiation the sun sends to us. Life as we know it wouldn't be possible without this layer of protection. Third layer is Mesosphere. The Mesosphere is very important for earth's protection. The mesosphere burns up most meteors and asteroids before they are able to reach the earth's surface. Fourth layer is Thermosphere. The Thermosphere absorbs the sun radiation making it very hot.

Explanation: I don't know if you include this one but the fifth layer is the Exosphere. Although the exosphere is the most distance layer of earth's atmosphere it is the layer that is the planet's first line of defense against the sun's rays. It is also the first layer to come into contact and protect the earth from meteors, asteroids, and cosmic rays.

What defines a mixture?
erica [24]

B is your best answer because a mixture is when two or more things combine but not chemically. Take soup for example you take out all the pieces because they didn't combine together and just become 1 thing they still have parts. You can still take the noodles, you take the fish or meat out still, you take the broth away to.
