Question

Name the sub atomic particles in part Z of a boron atom.Give the relative charges of these sub atomic

Answer 1

Answer:

proton 5+

electron 5-

neutron 0, neutral

Explanation:

Boron is the fifth element on the periodic table, meaning it's atomic# is 5. that is the # of protons. Protons have a positive chargé. The # of electrons in a neutrally charged atom is the same as the # of protons, because they're negatively charged. so if there are 5 protons, there are 5 electrons +5 + -5 = 0 chargé. The third subatomic particle is a neutron. It has a charge of 0, neutral, thus its name. You know there are 6 neutrons in a Boron atom because the atomic mass is 11. electrons have basically no weight, so 11 - 5 protons = 6 neutrons.
