The comets hit the moon's surface because there is no atmosphere on the moon to protect it. The earth has an atmosphere so it is protected.
Answer:
15 protons and 18 electrons
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Chemistry</u>
- Reading a Periodic Table
- Element Number
- Neutral Atoms
- Ions
Explanation:
We are given the element P. P is 15 on the Periodic Table, meaning it has 15 protons and 15 electrons (all elements are in neutral form).
P³⁻ ion means the element now has a negative charge of 3. We know protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. 3- means we will have more electrons than protons.
Therefore, P³⁻ would have 15 protons and <em>18</em> electrons:
15 (+) + 18 (-) = 3 (-)
Rotational motion may be described analytically for bodies undergoing pure rotation.
