Answer:

The atom would have one more proton and electron.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

Consider an atom X has 6 atomic number and 12 atomic mass. Atom gain one electron and one proton thus its atomic number will be

6+1 = 7

Atomic mass 12+1 = 13

It means by increasing one proton one electron atomic number and atomic weight both will increase by one.

What determines the amount of chemical energy a substance has?
Ratling [72]


Chemical energy  is the kind of energy stored in the bonds formed by atoms and molecules in chemical compounds and elements.  This energy is  released during a chemical  reaction and  heat is often given out in the process. These kind of reactions where heat is given out as a by product are called exothermic reactions.

The major factor that determines how much chemical energy a substance has is the mass of that substance. Mass is defined as the amount of matter in a substance.

The higher  the mass of a substance, the more concentrated that substance is and subsequently the greater the number of atoms and molecules.

Logically, the higher the number of atoms and molecules  then the greater the number of bonds in that substance and subsequently the more the amount of chemical energy  stored therein.

In a chemical formula such as C6H12O6 and H2O, what do you call the little numbers below the normal line of text.
Morgarella [4.7K]

These are called subscript number.

That is the number below the normal line of test are called subscript number.

This number indicate the indicate the number of atoms of the element present in the chemical formula.

In both of these C₆H₁₂O₆ and H₂O, the number written below the line of the text are called subscript numbers.
