If the atom is neutral, it has the same number of protons as electrons. If there are 5 electrons, there are also 5 protons.
Explanation:
When a man falls on a hard cemented floor his momentum reduced to zero in a very short time and hurt the man. Whereas when a man falls on a heap of sand. As sand can compress, it takes longer time for the man to hit the ground (or hard surface)
Combine all of the x's on one side of the equation and then finish the problem!
