Once the atomic number of an atom is known, the number of electrons can be deduced depending on if the atom is an ion or a neutral one.
<h3>Atomic number</h3>
The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.
For atoms that are neutral, that is, no net charges, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. In other words, the positive charges always balance the negative charges in neutral atoms.
Thus, if the atomic number of a neutral atom is 6, for example, the proton number will also be 6. Since the proton must balance the electron, the number of electrons will also be 6.

Answer:
Explanation:
Let initial extension in the spring= x₀
Force on the spring = F₀
Let spring constant = k
Fo = k x₀
Fn = 3k x₀
Fn /Fo = 3
PEs0 ( ORIGINAL) =1/2 k x₀²
PEsn ( NEW) =1/2 k (3x₀)²
PEsn / PEs0 = 9
Answer:
D. Calculate the area under the graph.
Explanation:
The distance made during a particular period of time is calculated as (distance in m) = (velocity in m/s) * (time in s)
You can think of such a calculation as determining the area of a rectangle whose sides are velocity and time period. If you make the time period very very small, the rectangle will become a narrow "bar" - a bar with height determined by the average velocity during that corresponding short period of time. The area is, again, the distance made during that time. Now, you can cover the entire area under the curve using such narrow bars. Their areas adds up, approximately, to the total distance made over the entire span of motion. From this you can already see why the answer D is the correct one.
Going even further, one can make the rectangular bars arbitrarily narrow and cover the area under the curve with more and more of these. In fact, in the limit, this is something called a Riemann sum and leads to the definition of the Riemann integral. Using calculus, the area under a curve (hence the distance in this case) can be calculated precisely, under certain existence criteria.
