Answer:
Number of protons = 82
Explanation:
Given data:
Atomic number of Pb = 82
Mass number of Pb-207 = 207
Number of protons = ?
Solution:
An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.
All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.
Atomic number of Pb = number of protons or electrons
82 = number of protons or electrons
Mass number = Number of protons + number of neutron
207 = 82 + number of neutron
Number of neutrons = 207 - 82
Number of neutrons = 125
Answer:
One positive charge
Explanation:
In a neutral atom, the number of positive and negative particles are equal. This leaves the atom with a net charge of zero, 0.
When the number of protons in an atom is greater than the number of electrons, the atom becomes positively charged. When an atom loses an electron when a bond wants to form, it has a net positive charge.
The number of electrons lost or gained determines the charge.
Metals are malleable - they can be bent and shaped. This is because they consist of layers of atoms. These layers can slide over one another when the metal is bent, hammered or pressed.
