If you balance the charges of the magnesium ion and the phosphate polyatomic ion, you get a formula of Mg3(PO4)2. Now count 'em up: there are 3 magnesiums, 2 phosphrous, and 8 oxygens. (watch those parentheses!)

How many hyrogen atomes in Hydrogen peroxide?

There are two hydrogen atoms in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).


How do you find the number of protons Neutrons and electrons in one atom of an element?

The number of protons is the same as the atomic number. For example... For the element Boron the atomic number is 5, so this would also be the number of Protons in this element. The number of electrons is the same as the number of protons. For example... For the element Boron the number of protons is 5, because that is the atomic number, so it is also thr number of electrons. This is so that the atom has an even charge between it's negative (elcectrons) and positive (protons) charges. To work out the number of neutrons you round the elements mass number to the nearest whole number. You then subtract the atomic number, from the rounded whole number, which gives you the new number of electrons. For example... For the element Boron has the mass number of 10.811. If you round that to the nearest whole number, you get 11. The atomic number of Boron is 5. You then subtract the atomic number (5) from the rounded mass number (11) which then gives you the number of neutrons found in that element. In this case if you subtract 5 from 11 toy are left with six, that is the number of nuetrons found in the element Boron. Tip- to find the atomic number and mass number, needed to find the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons, go to a site that will show you a periodic table- http://www.webelements.com/ click on the symbol of the elements name, and it will give you the mass and atomic number. Usually the mass number is located under the name and symbol, and the atomic number is usually located on top of the element's name and symbol, or in the top left hand corner.

Quelle est la différence entre une fumée et un gaz?

Un gaz est un état particulier de la matière (solide, liquide, gazeux). Sous forme gazeuse, les atomes ne sont plus liés aux autres, et la densité diminue fortement.Une fumée est un nuage de particules extrêmement fines plus ou moins dense.

How does a star fuse?

There in the space atomes of hydrogen. But, in very low quantity. When 2 atomes are come close there is a system of atomes. Like this many atomes come closer and make a large cloud. When that cloud made, it compress to its center and tempereture will being high. So, this is a newly birth star!
