I believe that this atom is chlorine and the atom has an overall charge of zero.
Chlorine is chemical element which is atomic number 17 in the periodic table. Each chlorine atom has 17 protons (positively charged) in the nucleus balanced by 17 electrons (negatively charged) in the energy shells ( thus an overall charge of zero)
Answer:
A = 2A + 3B → 5C
Explanation:
The two molecule of A and three molecules of B will react to form the five molecules of C.
2A + 3B → 5C
Other options are incorrect because,
B = A₂ + B₃ → C₅
in this reaction one molecule of A₂ and one molecule of B₃ combine to form one molecule of C₅.
C = 2A + 5B → 3C
in this reaction two molecules of A and five molecules of B combine to form three molecule of C.
D = A₂ + B₃ → C₃
in this reaction one molecule of A₂ and one molecule of B₃ combine to from one molecule of C₃.
The property that determines an atom;s ability to attract electrons shared in a chemical bond is electronegativity. The correct answer is C.
