Answer:

protons plus neutrons

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons.

The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom.

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

while the number of protons or number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

Answer:

1.68 M

Explanation:

Molar mass (KNO3)= 101.1 g/mol

What experimental evidence led to the development of this atomic model
Yanka [14]
Rutherford’s experimental evidence led to the development of this atomic model from the one before it . According to him , a few of the positive particles pointed at a gold foil appeared to ricochet back off of the light metallic foil. This experimental evidence gives the root the development of the atomic model .

What's the formula equation for the reaction that occurred between the barium chloride solution , BaCl2 (aq), and the sodium sul
Solnce55 [7]
The balanced equation is:

BaCl2 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq) ----> BaSO4(s)+ 2 NaCl(aq)

This is a double replacement reaction.

The reactants are:

a) BaCl2: barium chloride, a ionic compound, therefore soluble in water,

b) Na2SO4: sodium sulfate, another ionic compound, therefore also soluble in water.

The products are:

c) BaSO4: barium sulfate, a solid not soluble in water which precipitates.

d) NaCl: sodium chloride, an ionic compound, therefore soluble in water.
