My teacher says protons and electrons are always equal to each other. So does that mean every element has a charge of 0? No, tha

t can’t be.. but I’m still confused. Please help!

Answer: Your teacher is correct, although yes not every element has a charge of 0.

Explanation:

Atoms are electrically neutral because they contain equal quantities of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Electrons and protons have equal but opposite charges, so the result is no net charge.

What’s the difference between heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous. A mixture in which its constituents are distributed uniformly is called homogeneous mixture, such as salt in water. A mixture in which its constituents are not distributed uniformly is called heterogeneous mixture, such as sand in water.

Generally speaking a precipitate is something that will form as a result of the reaction.  It generally is a solid material.

Sodium and nitrates are soluble so Calcium Phosphate would precipitate out....

Explain why, when the imidazole ring of histidine is protonated, the double-bonded nitrogen is the nitrogen that accepts the pro
eduard
The important thing to note is the reason why electron react is due to the instability of the electrons. All elements wants to aim the electron configuration of the noble gases. This is the most stable form in which each of the orbitals are sufficiently filled. When it comes to bonding, the order of reactivity is: alkynes > alkenes > alkanes. Alkynes are compounds with triple bonds, alkenes with double bonds and alkanes with single bonds. The single bonds are called saturated hydrocarbons. This is because they have reached stability, so it is quite difficult to react this with reducing or oxidizing agents. Alkynes and alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons. They readily react with reducing and oxidizing agents so as to become saturated, as well. The underlying principle for this is that single bonds contain sigma bonds which is the head-on overlapping of electrons. These is the strongest type of covalent bond. Double and triple bonds contain pi bonds which is the side overlapping of electrons orbitals. Hence, these electrons would be easily separated making it more reactive especially during protonation.
