An electron has a negative charge of one
An neutron has no charge (hence, neutral)
An proton has a positive charge of one

Answers-in-bold:
There are two common temperature scales. On the Fahrenheit scale, water freezes at 32 degrees. The Celsius scale divides the interval between the freezing and boiling points of water into 100 degrees.
Answer:
M is Li, X is boron, and Q is oxygen. MX is LiB, lithium bromide. QX is BO, boron oxide (not Body Odor).
Explanation: The atomic masses don't match exactly with those listed in the periodic table. Boron, Oxygen, and Lithium come the closest.
Lithium reacts with bromine since it happily donates it's single 2s electron to bromine's 4p orbital to fill bromine's 4s and 4p valence orbitals to go from 7 to 8 valence electrons, it's happy state.
Boron reacts with oxygen to form B2O3, which I'll happily write as O=BOB=O, since my name is Bob. This is more complex, but both elements want to move electrons around in order to reach a more stable electron configuration. Boron has 3 valence electrons and oxygen has 6. So each oxygen needs 2 electrons to fill it's outer shell and boron is happy to lose it's 3 valence electrons to reach an outer shell equiovalent to helium. So 2 borons contribute a total of 6 electrons, and the 3 oxygens have room for a total of 6 electrons to fill their outer shell.
Answer:
The correct answer is
C. 6 Protons
Explanation:
Carbon is a nonmetallic element that is available in both organic and inorganic compounds.
Carbon belongs to group 14 elements in the periodic table,carbon is a chemical element with the symbol C and atomic number 6, it can form long chains with its own atoms, a feature called catenation.
Two allotropes of carbon available are diamonds and graphites, which have different crystalline structures
The physical properties of carbon vary widely with the allotropic form.
examples are.
- Graphite, diamonds and coal are all nearly pure forms of carbon
- Diamond is highly transparent. Graphite is opaque and black
- Diamond is one of the hardest substances known to man. Graphite is soft and often used as the "lead" in lead pencils
- Diamond has a very low electrical conductivity. Graphite is a very good conductor
- Very brittle, and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets
