The total charge on an atom comes from protons and electrons.
The proton is positively charged while the electron is negatively charged. A neutral atom would have an equal number of protons and electrons.
An atom with more protons than electrons will be positively charged while those with more electrons than protons will be negatively charged.

Answer:
Explanation:
1) Chemical formula of sodium carbonate: <em>Na₂CO₃</em>
2) Ratio of carbon atoms:
- The number of atoms of C in the unit formula Na₂CO₃ is the subscript for the atom, which is 1 (since it is not written).
Hence, the ratio is 1 C atom / 1 Na₂CO₃ unit formula.
This is, there is 1 atom of carbon per each unit formula of sodium carbonate.
3) Calculate the number of moles in 1.773 × 10⁷ carbon atoms
- Divide by Avogadro's number: 6.022 × 10²³ atoms / mol
- number C moles = 1.773 × 10⁷ atoms / (6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol)
- number C moles = 2.941 × 10⁻¹⁷ mol
Since, the ratio is 1: 1, the number of moles of sodium carbonate is the same number of moles of carbon atoms.
Answer:
All chemical equations goes to the law of conservation of mass which says that matter can not be destroyed nor created which means there has to be an equal amount of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. I hope that helps, I'm learning this as well.
