If a neutral atom has 24 electrons and 26 neutrons how many protons does it have?​

Chemistry

Salsk061 [2.6K]2 years ago

Answer:

24

Explanation:

The number of protons in the atom of the neutral element will also be 24.

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom.

Electrons are the negatively charged particles

Neutrons do not carry any charges at all

Now, in a neutral atom, the charge is balanced and the number of protons and electrons are the same in the atom.

So, since we have been given that the atom has 24 electrons, the number of protons will be 24.

Georgia [21]

Protons:

- Have a mass

- Positively charged

- Found inside the nucleus of an atom

Electrons:

- Have a mass. (9.10938188×10−31 kilograms), though this can sometimes be considered negligible due to how small that actually is. Barely factored into atomic mass

- Negatively charged

- Found outside the nucleus in the electron shell

Neutrons:

- Have a mass

- Neutral (no charge)

- Found inside the nucleus of an atom

Atom A:

- 1 proton

- 0 Neutrons

- 1 electron

- Atomic mass of 1

- Atomic number of 1

Atom B:

- 8 Protons

- 10 Neutrons

- 8 electrons

- Atomic mass of 18

- Atomic number of 8

Atomic mass includes the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Atomic number is the number of protons, as this is what defines what type of element the atom is.

Yes that is correct because hypotheses should be testable meaning it can be proven wrong and it has to be reasonable meaning it should make sense.

Citrus2011 [14]
The correct description for an atom of helium would be option C. An atom of helium has its valence electrons in its first energy level, it wouldn't and can't satisfy the Octet rule as it only has 2 electrons, but with 2, it has a full shell, as the first energy level can hold only 2 electrons.
