The vertical columns are groups
The horizontal rows are periods
The periodic table is arranged in a way so that with each step the number of protons in the nucleus is increased by 1. It makes it for an easy choice to designate elements with numbers - atomic numbers, because in that case atomic number shows the number of protons possessed by the nucleus. Like this:
H has 1 proton
He has 2 protons
Li has 3 protons
Be has 4 protons and so on
Each proton has a charge of +1. The other particle present in the nucleus - the neutron - has zero electrical charge and thus irrelevant when computing the charge of a nucleus. It is easy to deduce that the nucleus charge equals the number of protons (which in turn equals the atomic number). So the nucleus charges are:
for H it's+1
for He it's +2
for Li it's +3
for Be it's +4 and so on
Atom is an electroneutral particle by definition. It means it's summed charge must be 0. Since we've looked at everything within the nucleus (the protons and the neutrons) it's time we turn our gaze to the space around it, which is full of orbiting electrons. Each electron has a charge of -1. To make up for the positive charge in the nucleus you have to fill the space aroung the nucleus with negative electrons.Thanks to the elementary nature of both proton and electron charge, you simply have to take the same number of electrons as that of protons! Like this:
H has 1 proton and 1 electron
He has 2 protons and 2 electrons
Li has 3 protons and 3 electrons
Be has 4 protons and 4 electrons and so on
Fe has atomic number 26. It means that Fe has 26 protons and 26 electrons. If it's a neutral atom
You typed 3. Is it accidental? If so, then the answer is above. If not, then you could be trying to type 56Fe +3, which means an ionic iron with charge +3. Charges are formed when you have too many or too few electrons to counter-balance the prositive charge of the nucleus. Charge +3 means you're 3 electrons short to negate the nucleus positive charge.
In other words, Fe+3 has 26 protons and 23 electrons.
Answer:
The answer to your question is: 7
Explanation:
The reaction between HCl and NaOH is a neutralization reaction, that means that the products will be water and a salt and the pH will be 7.
HCl + NaOH ⇒ NaCl + H₂O
<span>nuclear symbol consists of three parts: 1. the symbol of the
element; 2. the atomic number of the element;3. the mass of the element. for
the above problem, the symbol for potassium is k. it's atomic number is 40. the
number of protons is 19. so we denote this in the following nuclear symbol; 40
k 19</span>
D, It is a flow of protons, is the best answer. Electricity is the flow of electrons, not protons.
