How does one determine the number of protons, neutrons, electrons in an atom

1 answer:

5 0

Remember that the number of electrons are equal to the number of protons, and to find the number of protons you have to look and see the atomic mass of the atom is equal to the number of protons, and to find the number of neutrons you have too subtract the atomic mass to the atomic number.

Example:

You want to find out how many protons, neutrons, and electrons are in Platinum:

Atomic number is equal to the number of protons:
$78 = 78$
So platinum has 78 protons and electrons.
Subtract atomic mass to atomic number:
$195 - 78 = 117$ (forgetting about the decimals)

So platinum has "78 protons, and electrons, and has 117 neutrons."

Hope this helps!

Do you think GM foods should be labeled in food stores in the United States so that you can distinguish them from conventional f

Oksanka [162]

GM foods should be labeled in food stores. If, for example, someone wanted to buy a GM Apple, which could be enriched in chemicals, that should be labeled different than a regular apple. What if someone was allergic to some of the modifications in that apple. If there was a label on that apple, that person would not get a allergic reaction. That is why GM products should be labeled.
