Answer:

Explanation:

The two carbon atoms would be different. These different carbon isotopes are called isotopes. Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass number due to the difference in the number of neutrons in their various nuclei.

Carbon for example has 3 known isotopes which are:

                    ¹²₆C         ¹³₆C         ¹⁴₆C

These isotopes have different places in nature where they can be found. Some can occur together naturally.

Isotopes have the same chemical properties because they share similar electronic configuration.

Ok so the gravitational force the moon exerts on earth is very small. The ocean, however, is affected by it. How gravity works (in a simplistic sense) is that, when you are closer to something, the force is stronger. So, when the moon is close to Earth (at Perigee) the force of gravity is stronger. So the moon pulls the water more towards itself. This results in higher waves occurring when the moon is closer (at perigee) than at apogee.

What is the net charge of a nitrogen atom with 8 electrons
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

– 1

Explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained the following:

Electron = 8

Net charge of nitrogen =.?

Nitrogen has atomic number of 7. This also means that nitrogen has 7 proton because atomic number of an element is the equal to number of protons in the atom of the element.

Thus, we can obtain the net charge of nitrogen with 8 electrons by calculating the difference between the protons and electrons of the nitrogen atom. This can be obtained as follow:

Proton = 7

Electron = 8

Net charge = Proton – Electron

Net charge = 7 – 8

Net charge = – 1

Therefore, the net charge of the nitrogen atom with 8 electrons is – 1
