<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are 3 subatomic particles present in an atom. They are: protons, electrons and neutrons.

Protons carry positive charge, electrons carry negative charge and neutrons does not carry any charge.

Any neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons.  An ion is formed when atom looses or gain electron.

  • If an atom gains electrons, it will have more number of electrons than protons. Thus, it will carry negative charge and form an anion.
  • If an atom looses electrons, it will have less number of electrons than protons. Thus, it will carry positive charge and forms a cation.

Thus, an ionized atom will always have unequal number of protons and electrons.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

In atomic science, the z number refers to the number of __________ in the nucleus of an atom.
Sliva [168]
By convention, the symbol Z is assigned to the number of protons in the nucleus, or simply, the atomic number of an element. This is actually used when you want to determine the effective nuclear charge of a specific electron of an element. The equation is:

Z* = Z - S
where
Z* is the effective nuclear charge
Z is the atomic number
S is the number of electrons between the electron in question and the nucleus

There is due to a phenomenon called the shielding effect. This effect states that the farther the electron is from the nucleus, the lesser is its pull of force to the nucleus. That is the reason why the valence electrons (outermost electrons) are the ones always involved in chemicals reactions. Because they are not that strongly bonded to the nucleus of an atom.

I know there are 4.5*10^-9 seconds in 4.5 nanoseconds, but when I enter it into my TI-30xIIs, I get 4.5*10^-10. I enter it as 4.
o-na [289]

Answer:

You are not using properly the function exponential in your calculator

Explanation:

When a number is too big or too small we use scientific notation. This is a number between 1 a 10 multiplied by a power of 10.

When you are writing 4.5*10^-9 you are actually writing 0.0000000045 in scientific notation.

When you enter this in the calculator you have to use the function EXP after the first two numbers.

Steps:    1) Enter 4.5

             2) Enter EXP

             3) Enter minus (-)

             4) Enter 9
