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.
Answer:
12, 28, 16
Explanation:
If we are trying to find mass, neutrons are our guy. 28 "mass points" means 28 neutrons. Each neutron is one point
We know there are 12 protons and electrons if we look at a table of elements, the number in the top-left is always the number of protons and we can subtract mass from the protons to get our electrons
Protons, neutrons, and electrons.
