Explain why you cannot just take away a proton to make a halogen negative.​

The force that holds protons and neutrons together is too strong to overcome.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Consider the location of the particles in an atom.

  • Electrons are found outside the nucleus.
  • Protons and neutrons are found within the nucleus.

Protons carry positive charges and repel each other. The nucleus will break apart without the strong force that holds the protons and neutrons together. This force is much stronger than the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. X-rays are energetic enough for removing electrons from an atom. However, you'll need a collider to remove protons from a stable nucleus. You could well have ionized the atom with all that energy.

Also, changing the number of protons per nucleus will convert the halogen atom to an atom of a different element. Rather than making the halogen negative, removing a proton will convert the halogen atom to the negative ion of a different element.

What is the mass of 6 atom(s) of copper in grams?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

6.33×10¯²² g

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of atoms = 6 atoms

Mass of copper (Cu) =?

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that:

6.02×10²³ atoms = 1 mole of Cu

But 1 mole of Cu = 63.5 g

Thus,

6.02×10²³ atoms = 63.5 g of Cu

Finally, we shall determine the mass of 6 atoms of copper. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

6.02×10²³ atoms = 63.5 g of Cu

Therefore,

6 atoms = (6 × 63.5) / 6.02×10²³

6 atoms = 6.33×10¯²² g of Cu

Therefore, the mass of 6 atoms of copper is 6.33×10¯²² g.
