The electrical charge of an atom having 15 proton, 14 neutrons and 16 electrons is -1. The correct option is D.
What is an atom?
An atom is the smallest unit of any matter which comprises of central nucleus and electrons revolving around the nucleus in definite energy shells. The atom is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.
The electrical charge of an atom can be calculated as,
Charge of an atom = number of protons - number of electrons
Charge = 15 - 16 = -1.
The neutrons are neutral and do not contribute to the charge, the protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged in an atom.
Therefore, the charge of an atom with 15 protons, 14 neutrons and 16 electrons is -1. The correct answer is option D.

Number of atoms : 1.26 x 10²³
<h3>Further explanation </h3>
The mole is the number of particles(molecules, atoms, ions) contained in a substance
1 mol = 6.02.10²³ particles
Can be formulated
N=n x No
N = number of particles
n = mol
No = Avogadro's = 6.02.10²³
0.21 moles of Al, so n = 0.21
Number of atoms :
Answer:
Option B. 6 atoms of carbon
Explanation:
In <u><em>any chemical reaction</em></u>, atoms from reactant side and product side must be the same.
This is photosynthesis reaction:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Answer:
11
Explanation:
An atomic number of 11 means this atom will have 11 protons. A mass number of 23 means 23 - 11 this atom will have 12 neutrons. Since this atom is neutral the positive protons must be equal to the negative electrons. This atom will have 11 electrons
<u>Given:</u>
H2(g) + Cl2 (g) → 2HCl (g)
<u>To determine:</u>
The enthalpy of the reaction and whether it is endo or exothermic
<u>Explanation:</u>
Enthalpy of a reaction is given by the difference between the enthalpy of formation of reactants and products
ΔH = ∑nHf (products) - ∑nHf (reactants)
= [2Hf(HCl)] - [Hf(H2) + Hf(Cl2)] = 2 (-92.3) kJ = - 184.6 kJ
Since the reaction enthalpy is negative, the reaction is exothermic
<u>Ans:</u> The enthalpy of reaction is -184. kJ and the reaction is exothermic
