Atoms are electrically neutral because the number of protons, which carry a 1+ charge, in the nucleus of an atom is equal to the number of electrons, which carry a 1- charge, in the atom. The result is that the total positive charge of the protons cancels out the total negative charge of the electrons so that the net charge of the atom is zero. Most atoms, however, can either gain or lose electrons; when they do so, the number of electrons becomes different from the number of protons in the nucleus. The resulting charged species is called an ion.
There are 17 nonmetals on the periodic table of elements.
You are made of mostly 6 elements: Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Calcium, and Phosphorus. Some of these elements combine to form compounds in your body.
Explanation:
transform boundary is when two tectonic plates slide past each other
The answer is helium because it only has 2 electrons in its outer shell.
I hope this helps:)
