Answer:
it is always necessary to use the roman numeral as the assigned charge of the metal.
Explanation:
This is so that one would know which Transition metal is being used. For example copper (II) would be Cu²+
Look at the protons and electrons and rememeber metals want to get rid of electrons to be perfect. Nonmetals are wanting to take in. Metals are negatives in electrons. Opposite for nonmetals.
Answer:
D. They have the same number of protons as electrons.
Explanation:
Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom and have a positive charge while electrons orbit around the nucleus and have a negative charge. Usually, in a neutral atom of an element, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. This is why the atom has no charge because the positive and negative charges cancel out. When an atom loses an electron its charge turns positive while when it gains an electron its charge turns negative.
