Answer:
The nucleus is positively charged because it contains all of the protons however the charge of an atom is neutral because there is an equal amount of protons (positive) and electrons (negative) meaning the opposite charges cancel each other out therefore making the atoms overall charge neutral.
Explanation:
Answer:
78.85
Explanation:
To <u>calculate the average atomic mass of the isotopes </u>we use the <em>given masses and abundances</em>, as follows:
- Mass of Isotope 1 * Abundance of Isotope 1 + Mass of Isotope 2 * Abundance of Isotope 2 + ....
In other words:
- 78 amu * 75/100 + 81 amu * 15/100 + 82 amu * 10/100 = 78.85
So the answer is 78.85.
ZnCl2 is the chemical formula, hope this helps.
