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.

How many atoms are in one molecule of Iron II sulfate
dezoksy [38]
Answer:
             The number of atoms contained by one molecule of Iron (II) Sulfate are 6.

Explanation:
                   Iron (II) Sulfate is mage up of two parts. One is the Positive part which constitutes of Fe⁺² and a negative part which constitutes of a polyatomic anion i.e. SO₄²⁻. As there are four Oxygen and one sulfur atom in sulfate Ion so sulfate ion contains 5 atoms in total. Therefore, five atoms from sulfate iona dn one atom of Iron ion makes a total of 6 atoms in one molecule of Iron (II) Sulfate.

Which of the following statements best describes the current atomic theory
Oksana_A [137]
You did not provide the statements but a possible answer might be that the current atomic theory is sound and that technology that could challenge it does not exist at this time. There is no way to change it because no research can be done about it.
